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 sixties.
