Wham Bam!: NYC in the Roaring Sixties (English Edition)

Wham Bam!: NYC in the Roaring Sixties (English Edition)

This book is not politically correct! Proceed with caution!

It contains the language of the Sixties. It reflects sexual emancipation from the Fifties. Credit modern medicine for developing a tiny little pill that helped make the difference.

In other words, it is a FUN read!

Meet a beautiful flight attendant who discovers my apartment is directly below hers.

Be there when "Robert's Fairly Roast Beef Sandwiches" are available at Lloyd's Bar. The ad states, "Not only are our sandwiches illiterate, they're thick!"

Witness Abbie Hoffman as he instructs me as to what to smoke and what not to drink.

Encounter Charlie, the manager of Lloyd's, who doesn't like "pinko liberal music," that Abbie cannot wait to play on the jukebox as soon as he arrives at Llloyd's.

Names are shamelessly dropped, including the names of young writers who hang out at Elaine's Restaurant and Bar.

Yet like all eras, it is complicated. The Second World War had come to an end about twenty years before, and readers will sense its shadow along with the threat of Vietnam.

Join me in the Sixties and fall madly in love with New York City and the people living in it.
