Publisher's Synopsis
'The Fan Man' is a cult comic novel published in 1974 by the American writer William Kotzwinkle. It is told in stream-of-consciousness style by the narrator, Horse Badorties, a down-at-the-heels hippie living a life of drug-fuelled befuddlement in 1970's New York City. The book is written in a colourful, vernacular 'hippie-speak' and tells the story of the main character's hapless attempts to put together a benefit concert featuring his own hand-picked choir of 15-year-old girls.
