Recenzii

Humphries has a lively feel for Drake's social context . This book works as a sad fable of an unusual casualty of the 1960scounter culture
A riveting account of the golden-boy genius
An exquisite portrait . It's less about the human condition than about the sensitive adolescent's coming-of-age. But it's none the less moving for that. A short, sweet and sad story
