From the former publicist and biographer of the Grateful Dead, Dennis McNally, comes The Last Great Dream, a history of everything that led to the 1960s counterculture, when long-simmering, underground resistance to American mainstream values birthed the hippie.
McNally's gripping narrative ties everything together with a cast of fascinating people, and tells several micro-histories in the process, including beat poetry, visual arts, underground publishing, electronic/contemporary compositional music, experimental theater, psychedelics, and more, beginning with the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance, peaking with the Human Be-in at Golden Gate Park, and ending with the Monterey Pop Festival. Hardcover, 416 pages.
