More Description"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. Included are genuine, funny letters Hunter sent Margaret during and after the publication of his break-out first book, "Hell's Angels." This is a perfect companion to "Hell's Angels." Also featured are priceless reminiscences/memorabilia of some of Hunter's oldest friends: William Kennedy, David Pierce, Rosalie Sorrels, Paul Krassner, and editor Jim Silberman--covered in no other account. And letters to Margaret from the outrageous "Dr. Gonzo" (Oscar Acosta). Further featured are "poète maudit" Jan Mensaert and Greenwich Village "poet genius" Milton Klonsky.
