“Hunter often said Harrell was the best copy editor he’d ever worked with” (William McKeen, "Outlaw Journalist"). But what was the rest of the story?
"Keep This Quiet!" captures the fear and loathing, charm and romance of Hunter in the late Sixties—along with tales of two other underground authors. Included are genuine, funny letters he sent Margaret during and after the publication of "Hell’s Angels." Also, priceless reminiscences of some of Hunter’s oldest friends: William Kennedy, David Pierce, Rosalie Sorrels, and editor Jim Silberman—covered in no other account. Featured in addition are “poète maudit” Jan Mensaert and Greenwich Village “poet genius” Milton Klonsky.
This is a great companion to "Hell's Angels," taking the reader behind the scenes to Hunter's own experience of the publication process in harrowing and hilarious detail.
