Ad text
From the beginning, Michael Crichton was exploring the cultural anxieties of his time. Released as a film in 1972, “Dealing: Or the Berkeley-to-Boston Forty-Brick Lost-Bag Blues” began as a novel co-written with his brother Douglas Crichton and published under the pseudonym “Michael Douglas.” Part satire, part counterculture crime story, the work follows a Harvard student pulled into the chaos of a cross-country drug deal gone wrong — a fictional lens on the questions surrounding youth, rebellion, and the drug culture of the late 1960s. As Crichton later reflected: “[Dealing is] interesting to me because it attacks what is to most people a puzzling area… what really happens to nice, middle-class, well-educated kids who get into drugs?” Serialized in Playboy before becoming a Warner Bros. feature film starring Barbara Hershey and introducing John Lithgow to cinema audiences, Dealing captures an early moment in Crichton’s career — when curiosity, risk, and cultural observation were already shaping his storytelling. _ John Lithgow and Robert F.
