Re-Reading the Sixties

Catalog description

Exploration of representative texts from diverse parts of the universe-in-revision that was the 1960s-from Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove to Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five; from Sylvia Plath's Ariel to Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider; from Nikki Giovanni's poetry to Bonnie and Clyde; from Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test to Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49. We start with "Berkeley in the Sixties," and it never ends.
