Friend to William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Brion Gysin and the Beats. Wandering Monk in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.Philip Norman Fagan embodied the very soul of the tumultuous social revolution that defined the 1960s. His far-flung adventures and search for spiritual enlightenment led him into the eye of that decade's storm. With Jodorowsky he deconstructed time-honoured notions of theater. In the films of Warhol, Jonas Mekas, Marie Menken, Jack Smith and Gregory Markopoulos he helped define the underground film superstar. Wandering for years throughout Southeast Asia and India, he continued to search for the peace that eluded him until the end of his life.
