Banned in court, burned in Greenwich Village, What's Happening? dares tell the shocking truth about the beat generation. The kind of no-holds-barred truth that has offended some, that others have tried to suppress, the kind of truth that dares to be told! A realistic novel about America's Left Bank—its rebels, its outcasts, its morally confused and sexually misguided and their frantic, neverending search for brand-new kicks and offbeat thrills.
