Paperback edition of Diski's analysis of the 1960s, in which she wryly dismantles the big ideas that dominated the era. She considers whether she and her peers were as serious as they thought about changing the world. '...Her book made me feel proud to be a Sixties relic' Lynn Barber, "Daily Telegraph"
Synopsis
Many books have been written on the Sixties - tributes to music and fashion, sex, drugs and revolution. This title dismantles the big ideas that dominated the era - liberation, permissiveness and self-invention - to consider what the author and her generation were really up to.
