Reader Comments
Would love to see an exhibition of his work. Anything planned for London?
So much fun. This could be a novel.
It made me nostalgic for those good old days. A great read.
A superbly-written, impressionistic, account of a young artist's life in the 1960s from somebody who truly was right at the heart of it all...
A dizzying ride full of interesting stories. As a child of the 60's, this book brings back many memories of the era.
I read my brothers book and not only learned of stories about his life that I did not know but also got a good idea of what his life was about from his unique perspective. For any young artist who wants to know what it was like in the sixties from an artist point of view, this is a great read!
