- Summary
- "In the early sixties at the Royal College of Art in London, three extraordinary personalities collided to reshape contemporary art and literature. Barrie Bates (who would become Billy Apple in November 1962) was an ambitious young graphic designer from New Zealand, who transformed himself into one of pop art's pioneers. At the same time, his friend and fellow student David Hockney - young, Northern and openly gay - was making his own waves in the London art world. ... And in the middle of it all was the secretary of the Royal College's Painting School - an aspiring young novelist called Ann Quin. ... Taking us back to London's art scene in the late fifties and early sixties ... Anthony Byrt illuminates a key moment in cultural history and tackles big questions"--Cover flap.
