"Richard Atcheson went on the commune trip - through a variety of communes across the country - and reports in The Bearded Lady on how all kinds of people, from fragile neurotics to super-controlled lawyers, are trying something we've forgotten how to do: Live Together (and not just next to each other). But while communes intend to draw the human being out of the button-down automation, they often do much more than expected - to the shock of the solid citizen who finds out, when communal life takes hold of him, that he really is a bearded lady or a dwarf or whatever, and has been all along." From the introduction: "Communal life can be a very fine thing, but it takes hard work and dedication and gut-wrenching self-examination to do it right, and for many people is nothing less than a Last Judgment, an apocalyptic event after which no fire burns. Peace?; peace has nothing to do with it."
