The first American novel to be banned in England since Hubert Selby Jr. s Last Exit to Brooklyn, Evil Companions is one of the most controversial books of the 1960s. Exploring the direct connection between pleasure and pain, D. M. Perkins dreams up a scenario of what it would have been like had the hippie generation actually been as debauched and perverted as conservative onlookers believed it to be.
