TextPublication details: New York : Ecco, c2007Edition: 1st edDescription: 229 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cmISBN: 0060198168 (alk. paper)Subject(s): Stone, Robert, 1937- | Authors, American -- 20th century -- Biography | Nineteen sixtiesDDC classification: 813/.54 | B LOC classification: PS3569.T6418 | Z47 2007Summary: A memoir of America's most turbulent, whimsical decade. From the New York City of Kline and De Kooning to the jazz era of New Orleans's French Quarter to Ken Kesey's psychedelic California, Prime Green explores the 1960s in all its weird, innocent, fascinating glory. An account framed by two wars, it begins with Stone's last year in the Navy and ends in Vietnam, where he was a correspondent in the days following the invasion of Laos. The narrative zips from coast to coast, from days spent in the raucous offices of Manhattan tabloids to the breathtaking beaches of Mexico, and merry times aboard the bus with Kesey and the Pranksters. These accounts of the sixties are riveting not only because Stone is a master storyteller but because he was there, in the thick of it, through all the wild times.--From publisher description.
