When Groupie was first published in 1969 it caused a sensation. The
Swingin' Sixties capacity to outrage may have been starting to
decline, but this novel managed to shock all over again. A thinly
fictionalised chronicle of Jenny Fabian's adventures with
underground rock heroes of her day, Groupie caused a furore for all
kinds of reasons...it had the scent of danger that accompanies an
authentic original, it ruffled feathers with its matter of fact
descriptions of drug taking and sexual high jinks, it prompted
guessing games about teh true identities of its principal
characters, most of all, it was highly explicity about a phenomenon
that had never before been documented. Almost three decades later,
this book is still extraordinarily fresh and playing the celebrity
guessing game is still fun. Groupie is also the genuine article -
no reconstruction of Sixties underground rock culture has ever
captured the Zeitgist as as well as this novel.
