Groupie

<p>Fabian and Byrne's story of 19-year-old Katie and her unswerving commitment to sex drugs & rock 'n' roll now takes its rightful place as a key novel of the Sixties.</p><p><br></p><p>When <em>Groupie</em> was first published in 1969 it caused a sensation. The Swingin' Sixties capacity to outrage may have been starting to decline but this novel managed to shock all over again. A thinly fictionalised chronicle of Jenny Fabian's adventures with underground rock heroes of her day <em>Groupie</em> caused a furore for all kinds of reasons...</p><p><br></p><p><em>It had the scent of danger that accompanies an authentic original...</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>It ruffled feathers with its matter of fact descriptions of drug taking and sexual high jinks...</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>It prompted guessing games about the true identities of its principal characters...</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>Most of all it was highly explicit about a phenomenon that had never before been documented...</em></p><p><br></p><p>Decades later this book is still extraordinarily fresh and playing the celebrity guessing game is still fun. <em>Groupie</em> is also the genuine article - no reconstruction of Sixties underground rock culture has ever captured the Zeitgeist as well as this novel.</p><p><br></p><p>Includes an introduction by Jonathan Green.</p><p><br></p>
