ADVANCE COMMENTS ON
HOW I ACCIDENTALLY STARTED THE SIXTIES

"This is a monumental, epic, glorious literary achievement.

"Every page, every paragraph, every sentence sparkles with captivating metaphors,
delightful verbal concoctions, alchemical insights, philosophic whimsy, absurd illogicals,
scientific comedy routines, relentless, non-stop waves of hilarity.

"The comparisons to James Joyce are inevitable and undeniable. Finnegans's Wake
wanders through the rock 'n roll sixties.

"Wow! Whew! Wild! Wonderful!"

Timothy Leary
 

"Howard Bloom's raucous ride through the 60s is a treat you cannot deny yourself. The book possesses all of the exhilaration of the era it recaptures: the fantasies and fol­lies, the search for truth, peace, and of course, true love. How I Accidentally Started The Sixties is youth itself--tentative, tenacious, charming and cathartic--a journey you'll miss when it's finished."

Patrice Adcroft, author of
Everyday Doughnuts, editor Omni Magazine,
founding editor In Style Magazine, former editor-in-chief Seventeen Magazine
 

"Very Funny"

Laurie Colwin, author of
Another Marvelous Thing

 

"A dazzling, dizzy, uproariously funny de­scent into the Sixties. Howard Bloom is a brilliant raconteur."

Sol Gordon author of
Why Love Is Not Enough
 

"I absolutely loved How I Accidentally Started The Sixties. It reminded me of the best novels by Tom Robbins and Clyde Edgerton. The weird thing is, the whole story is true."

Don Cusic, author of
Hank Williams and Reba: Country Music's Queen

 

"How I Accidentally Started The Sixties is wonderful. Howard Bloom is one of the greatest stylists I have ever read."

William L. Rivers, Paul C. Edwards

"I have met God, and he lives in Brooklyn. …Howard Bloom is next in a lineage of seminal thinkers that includes Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Freud, and Buckminster Fuller…he is going to change the way we see ourselves and everything around us."

Richard Metzger, Channel4 TV Britain
This stuff really happened. Several names have been changed to protect me
from my attorney. However any lack of resemblance to actual people, living
or dead, is solely due to the incompetence of the author.
