Hardback. Condition: Good. Uncensored, uncontained, and thoroughly demented, the memoirs of Paul Krassner are back in an updated and expanded edition. Paul Krassner, father of the underground press (People magazine), founder of the Realist, political radical, Yippie, and award-winning stand-up satirist, shares his stark-raving adventures with the likes of Lenny Bruce, Abbie Hoffman, Norman Mailer, Ken Kesey, Groucho Marx, and Squeaky Fromme, revealing the patriarch of counterculture's ultimate, intimate, uproarious life on the fringes of society. Whether he's writing about his friendship with controversial comic Lenny Bruce, introducing Groucho Marx to LSD, his investigation of Scientology, or John Kennedy's cadaver, no subject is too sacred to be skewered by Krassner. And yet his stories are soulful and philosophical, always authentic to his iconoclastic brand of personal journalism. As Art Spiegelman said, Krassner is one of the best minds of his generational to be destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical, naked--but mainly hysterical. His true wacky, wackily true autobiography is the definitive book on the '60s. Seller Inventory # 00091948900
