THE LAST GREAT DREAM How Bohemians Became Hippies and Created the Sixties

Narrator Timothy Andrés Pabon, a gifted storyteller, is an excellent choice for this sweeping retrospective of the counterculture movement of the 1950s-1960s and what made it so influential. Pabon deftly manages long lists of names, deep scholarship, and stories of bohemian life. McNally's scholarship shines with Pabon's voice. Pabon shares what could have been dry research in a way that creates an expansive, colorful picture. Sounding at times like a newscaster, at other times like a fan, and occasionally like a participant, Pabon ensures that the great cultural and political counterculture of the mid-20th century is even more fascinating.
