Book Reviews of Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me (Twentieth-Century Classics)
Book Review: An American Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
It's hard to knock this surrealistic journey from the mind of a truly original talent. At turns hilarious and horrifying, the sensibility behind the story shines through at every page, a post-apocalyptic coda to "Huckleberry Finn."
Summary of Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me (Twentieth-Century Classics)
This is the ultimate novel of college life during the first hallucinatory flowering of what has famously come to be known as The Sixties. Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me follows haunted ur-hippy Gnossos Pappadopoulis upon return to his old university town that's just tilting into a new era, and Gnossos' involvement in a swirl of sixties-style drug taking and the search for love and the meaning of it all. It is a hilarious and haunting book.General Books
