“Rocket scientist or occultic high priest? Jack Parsons was both. Fascinating story.”
“Better known for his movie scripts, Hecht once vowed to write a column a day about the Windy City. He kept that vow, finding the most interesting stories in the unlikeliest places. The man brought art to journalistic writing, revealing the souls of the people and subjects he covered. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always captivating.”
“Long overdue and thorough assessment of a forgotten American genius, his music, and his era.”
“One of the funniest books I've ever read, and a brilliant tribute to this country's little-known weird road trip attractions.”
“There are several books about men's magazines of the last century available, published by Taschen and Feral House. This one gives you want you really want: the most lurid, offensive, and eye-popping covers of mags from the 50s and 60s, cannibals, nazis, snapping turtle attacks, and all.”
“Naturally, it's a challenge, but one that rewards the diligent reader. Don't try to wrestle it; let it carry you.”
