There is no better introduction to the world of Marco Vassi than his autobiography, The Stoned Apocalypse, a stirring and sensual work that is both unflinchingly honest and erotically charged. Did the sixties happen so Vassi could exist, or did Vassi define the decade? His journey across the country at the moment when the Woodstock generation was discarding conventions-and clothes-is an allegory of sexual liberation. If you loved Jack Kerouac's On the Road you will thrill to The Stoned Apocalypse-and you will be ready to take on Vassi's mindOCaeblowing novels.
