À propos de cet audio

The architects of America's cultural revolution of the 1960s were Beat authors like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, and celebrated figures like Norman Mailer, Timothy Leary, Eldridge Cleaver, and Susan Sontag. In examining the lives and works of those who spoke for the 1960s, Roger Kimball conceives a series of cautionary tales, an annotated guidebook of wrong turns, dead-ends, and blind alleys.

According to Kimball, the revolutionary assaults on "The System" in the 1960s still define the way we live now, with intellectually debased schools and colleges, morally chaotic sexual relations and family life, and a degraded media and popular culture. While some may think of the 1960s as "the Last Good Time", Kimball paints the decade as a seedbed of excess and moral breakdown.

Focusing on the mid-1950’s to mid-1970’s this book covers the key people whose writings, performances, and ideas changed American culture in ways that are still being felt to this day. If you are looking for a single volume summarizing the key players influencing the American cultural revolution of the 1960’s then I highly recommend this book. It is clearly written, entertaining, and informative. Narration for this audiobook was also excellent. 5/5
