On Wednesday September 25th, Alexander Stille, the author of The Sullivanians : Sex, Psychotherapy and the Wild Life of an American Commune, will present a program based on his book, a "narrative history of a little-known and singular chapter of the American counterculture." The story Stille tells includes details about the lives of the group’s founders, leaders and their followers which included bold-faced names such as Jackson Pollock, the art critic Clement Greenberg, Judy Collins and the dancer Lucinda Childs. The group's communes were on the Upper West Side, including one particularly active one located in a multi-story building on West 91st Street
