“In The Last Great Dream, Dennis McNally doesn’t just chronicle a fabled parade of Beat poets, folkies, student activists, classical minimalists, jazz musicians, poster artists, the underground press, Swinging Londoners, and so much more. He connects all the dots in what amounts to a panoramic portrait of an alternative arts universe where freedom of expression always rang.”―David Browne, author of "Talkin' Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America's Bohemian Music Capital"
"Erudite yet engaging, Dennis McNally’s marvelous ability to transform reams of info on the history of bohemia into elegant prose astounds me. This deep dive into the beats and the counterculture is an illuminating page-turner."―Holly George-Warren, author of "Janis: Her Life and Music"
"You hold in your hands a great mandala—a roadmap to a literary, artistic, and spiritual tradition that began with the intimate expressions of a few brave outsiders, until it reached a mass flowering that touched millions. Graham Nash sang, 'You who are on the road, must have a code that you can live by.' This is that code, told by one who has studied it, and lived it."―Raymond Foye, writer, curator, archivist, co-editor of "Collected Poems of Bob Kaufman"

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting topic
A good interesting read!
5.0 out of 5 stars Be Sure to wear the flowers in your hair!
Turn off, tune out, drop in, take this lovely trip down the counterculture’s memory lane, and keep the dream alive!
3.0 out of 5 stars Informative, But Not Zesty
Well researched, all-encompassing historical work, but overall, rather dry. Lot of who, what, where and some why, but not much self-interpretation and illumination. Greatly enjoyed McNally’s book about the Grateful Dead, full of spirit and heart, which reflects the band and especially Jerry Garcia, but this one felt more like an academic tome.
Great book!
Estremamente esaustivo e ricco di aneddoti, descrive senza pari un momento decisivo nella storia della crescita della consapevolezza umana. Notevoli le foto.
