Keep This Quiet!

'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 1960s - along with tales of two other underground authors. This is a perfect companion when you are reading Hell's Angels or to add background and context to Margaret's new book The Hell's Angels Letters. Read the escapades of a woman in her twenties in New York City, attracted to three fascinating authors. Included are funny letters Hunter sent Margaret during and after the publication of his break-out first book, Hell's Angels. Also, tales of woe, but in a comical retelling by outrageous Belgian poete maudit, Jan Mensaert, living in Morocco. Also included are priceless reminiscences and memorabilia of some of Hunter's oldest friends: William Kennedy, David Pierce, Rosalie Sorrels, Paul Krassner, and editor Jim Silberman, all of whom Margaret knew. Read as well letters to Margaret from the outrageous 'Dr. Gonzo' (Oscar Acosta). Further featured is Greenwich Village 'poet genius' Milton Klonsky, who acted as a buffer through these turbulent waters.
