Madmen Era
MADMEN is part of a resurgence in 60s culture. It was a decade that made classics of some very famous books. Paperbacks were all the rage, baby boomers were starting high school and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD started the trend that saw CATCH 22, SLAUGHTERHOUSE 5 and even WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE published. All remain popular today.
