Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me by Richard Fariña
Requirements: ePUB, MOBI readers, 1.1 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Richard Fariña's sole novel, first published in 1966 two days before his death, is based largely on Fariña's college experiences and travels. A comic picaresque story that is set in the American West, in Cuba during the Cuban Revolution, and at an upstate New York university, it has become something of a cult classic among those who study 1960s or counterculture literature. The hero, Gnossus Pappadopoulis, weaves his way through the psychedelic landscape, encountering—among other things—mescaline, women, art, gluttony, falsehood, science, prayer, and, occasionally, truth. A portrait of an explosive decade, sparkling with inventive writing and conveying the essence of a generation, Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me, as Thomas Pynchon writes in the introduction, "comes on like the Hallelujah Chorus done by 200 kazoo players with perfect pitch... hilarious, chilling, sexy, profound, maniacal, beautiful and outrageous all at the same time". It's worth noting that Pynchon dedicated Gravity's Rainbow to Fariña himself.
Genre: General Fiction/Classics
