Just yesterday I started "The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became HIppies and Created the Sixties" by Dennis McNally. The title kind of says it all; the author starts with artists, writers, and musicians who were working in the last forties and through the sixties, and how their work and lives interconnected and what their art did to change life. Very well researched (my gawd, the index, bibliography, notes, and cast of characters take up 95 pages!) and very dense with facts- I suspect I'll need to take breaks from it at times, just to relax my brain. But this is a subject that fascinates me, so I am eager to read it!
