Hot book alert! 'Groovy Bob: The Life and Times of Robert Fraser' is Back in Stock from @heni⁠ ⁠ Yes, this is Harriet Vyner’s cult biography of the hedonistic gallery owner Robert Fraser—and a dazzling evocation of 1960s culture and counter-culture. Taste-maker, heroin addict and promiscuous homosexual, Fraser astonished London with the artists he introduced: Andy Warhol, Peter Blake, Claes Oldenburg, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Told through the voices of those who knew him best—Paul McCartney, Richard Hamilton, Mick Jagger, Bridget Riley, Keith Richards, Kenneth Anger, Malcolm McLaren and Vyner herself—'Groovy Bob' is a brilliant biography and a searing portrait of the most exhilarating period in post-war British social history. ⁠ ⁠ And yes, this is the book that @frynaomifry recently proposed for the @newyorkermag Summer Picks feature. Fry writes: "This is not an especially happy story, but it’s also not a moralistic, cautionary tale. Rather, it presents a thick portrait of a now mostly forgotten man, who, for a short while, shined so bright that he was able to almost single-handedly define his cultural moment. Jagger again: 'And that was his blaze, his quick swathe through London. He found a part.'"⁠ ⁠ Read more about the book via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #groovybob #harrietvyner #swinging60s #robertfraser⁠
