Bear: The Life and Times of Augustus Owsley Stanley III by Robert Greenfield
1.0
Wasn't digging the blocky quotative narrative and really couldn't get behind the he's so cool / boys will be boys biography of a kid from an elite and "lousy" family that's kicked out of school, kicked (?) out of the military, and then rapes a child:
"During this period, Owsley attended Los Angeles City College. He was also arrested after being caught with a fourteen-year-old girl in a motel room, but was released after being given a lecture by the judge." Pg 30
The more time I spend reading about the 60s counter culture the more pervasively misogynistic and underwhelming it becomes. There are better cultural heroes than this.
