In the bohemian world of 1960s New York, young Hoyt Fairliss explores a society of artists, intellectuals, and self-proclaimed nonconformists. As he navigates Greenwich Village's underground culture, he begins questioning whether those who reject conventional society are truly as independent as they believe. Originally published in 1961, The Magic of Their Singing is a satirical portrait of the Beat Generation, its ideals, and its contradictions.
