The Long March by Roger Kimball
The architects of America's cultural revolution of the 1960s were beat authors like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and celebrated figures like Norman Mailer, Timothy Leary, Eldridge Cleaver, and Susan Sontag. In examining the lives and works of those who spoke for the 1960s, Roger Kimball conceives a series of cautionary tales, an annotated guidebook of wrong turns, dead ends, and blind alleys. According to Kimball, the revolutionary assaults on the System in the 1960s still define the way we live now, with intellectually debased schools and colleges, morally chaotic sexual relations and family life, and a degraded media and popular culture. While some may think of the 1960s as the Last Good Time, Kimball paints the decade as a seedbed of excess and moral breakdown.Roger Kimball is Editor and Publisher of The New Criterion and Publisher of Encounter Books. He writes regularly for a wide range of publications here and abroad, including The Wall Street Journal, National Review, The Weekly Standard, Literary Review, City Journal, and The Times Literary Supplement. Since 2006, Kimball has written Roger's Rules, a regular column on cultural and political subjects for PJMedia. He is the author of several books, including the now-classic Tenured Radicals: How Politics Has Corrupted Our Higher Education, The Long March: How the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s Changed America, and The Rape of the Masters: How Political Correctness Sabotages Art. Mr. Kimball lives in Connecticut with his wife and two children.
