What was it like in the 60s? ─ a novelist’s view
 |
In his talks to library users, writers, students and U3As Leslie
Tate describes how Aphrodite’s Children was ‘adapted from life’. His
novel, which is character-led and language-driven, tells the
real story of the
permissive 60s and the ‘confusion behind the cool’. It describes
extreme experience, pretence, risk-taking, innovation and
generational conflict. Certainly not peace and love!
