A pivotal year, one of several in the decade. But rather than reporting on it, Bray gives his opinions, at great length, and with language to make him seem as clever as possible, to the point where it becomes self-parody and he vanishes up his own fundament. We all learn how he feels about John Lennon, Peter Cook Bridget Riley, R.D. Laing and others. Really, the book should be called 'How I Feel About Some Of The Things in 1965'. If you're reading this for research, like me, one word of advice: don't.
