Readings include popular and influential books by Peter Weiss, Robbe-Grillet, Ken Kesey, Tom Wolfe, Germaine Greer, Eldridge Cleaver, and Joan Didion. Attention is paid not only to important new artistic, political, and social movements, as seen by these writers, but also to films and music of the time.
