But ya know what? I just read the book again - it doesn't take very long - and it's still a damn entertaining read and a very authentic look at the way things were in the sixties. Tike is still a pretty interesting character. I've learned that Jonathan Strong later revised and reissued the book under the title HAUNTS OF HIS YOUTH. I'm not sure what he might have changed, but I think the original version holds up pretty well. It's become a kind of literary artifact. I'll recommend it.
I remember that my seminar-mates and I all enjoyed reading this slim little volume back in 1970 and it generated a pretty interesting discussion. I'll bet it still would more than forty years later. ( )
