The Canadian-Cree singer, Buffy Sainte-Marie, recorded a song called "God is
Alive, Magic is Afoot" around 1970. It was played by fm stations a lot back
then. The words were from the novel. It was a letter written by one of the
characters from a mental hospital to a friend on the outside. It's been so
long since I read the book. I still have the battered paperback. Maybe I
should go back into it.
