Description
Tom Wolfe's groundbreaking exploration of the 1960s counterculture, published in Vintage Classics to mark its fiftieth anniversary. With an introduction by Jarvis Cocker. In the summer of 1964, author Ken Kesey and his group of friends embarked on a social experiment that would change America forever. Blazing across the country in their brightly coloured schoolbus, they brought a new kind of freedom and creativity to the nation's capital. This experience was the perfect catalyst for Tom Wolfe's pioneering work of New Journalism. The result is a book that not only captures the essence of this pivotal moment in American history but also provides a unique insight into the minds and motivations of those who shaped it.
