Description

The first nonfiction work by among the many unique prose stylists of our period, Slouching Towards Bethlehem stays, forty years following its first publication, the portrait of America— especially California—in the sixties. It concentrates on such topics as John Wayne and Howard Hughes, rising up a woman in Florida, ruminating on the character of good and bad in a Death Valley resort room, and, particularly, the substance of San Francisco’s haight ashbury, one's heart of the counterculture.
