Hello again! Hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving.
Through friend Dennis Perrin's brand-spankin'-new blog, I discovered a very interesting interview with writer/avatar of Hip Terry Southern.
Southern is probably best known for his work with Stanley Kubrick on "Dr. Strangelove," but he did a lot more than that--Easy Rider, the mega-selling dirty book "Candy," some excellent journalism and short stories, as well as a few baroque satirical novels that can feel a bit dated. Time is the scourge of the social satirist, and the pace of damage increases with the accuracy of the work in describing its original moment--as mores change, the work suffers. Still--Southern's well worth reading, especially if you dig the smart edgy side of the Sixties as much as I do.
