Looking back, I wonder why. At the time I thought it was very cutting edge and avant guarde. Sort of like the movie, Rebel Without a Cause.
Today...not so much. It was simply a revelation of what we all learn. (Oh my gosh...I have become a geezer!!!)
I think they used to require some of the most obscure literature ..
I don’t get it. This book is what gave people the idea that whiny, angst-ridden teenagers had something to say to the world. It’s been all downhill since then.
