The Risk of Being Ridiculous: A Historical Novel of Love and Revolution - Paperback

by Guy Maynard (Author)

It's Boston 1969 and nineteen-year-old Ben Tucker and his tribe of long-haired freaks desperately seek lives that make sense in a world distorted by war, racism, and bankrupt values. Ridiculous takes you on a passionate, lyrical six-week ride through confrontations and concerts; courts and cops; parties and politics; school and the streets; Weathermen and women's liberation; acid and activism; revolution and reaction. And, of course, love-as Ben feverishly pursues the long shot desire of his life-Sarah Stein.
