James P. Davis — THE LOVE GENERATION

Out of Stock

A rare and thrilling psychedelic hippie exposé for the suburban sleaze paperback reader. A cultural guide for the perplexed, with a complete rundown of the ways of the Hippy: her film tastes (Antonioni, Warhol, Kenneth Anger); her jumpsuits (white leather); her favored drugs (LSD, amphetamines, barbiturates); her idols (Michael Caine; Che Guevara, the Monkees); her boyfriend (a saxophonist). With numerous erotic, or at least explicit, case-studies and vignettes; corrections to the common beginner’s errors of confusing the triolist for the tribadist or the teeny-bopper for the apprentice hippy; and overconfident explanations of everyone from Leonard Cohen and Allen Ginsberg to Robert Heinlein, Twiggy, Thomas Pynchon, and Velikovsky. Illustrated with stylish line drawings. 6.25” x 4”. Illustrated throughout, in the style of the uncredited cover artist
