Disclosure

The Pump House Gang audiobook by Tom Wolfe, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini and produced by Audible Studios, offers an engaging and vivid exploration of 1960s surf culture and American social dynamics. A captivating listen for fans of literary nonfiction and cultural history.

A collection of non-fiction essays about the counter-culture of the 1960s that dives deep into the issues that marked the era: female empowerment, increasing freedom around sexuality, vibrant subcultures, and the rise of psychedelic drugs.

In this sprawling work, Wolfe profiles Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and compares him to Jay Gatsby, interviews one of the first women to get breast implants, and hangs out with freewheeling surfers (aka The Pump House Gang).

Tom Wolfe’s second collection of essays continues his fieldwork among the thriving anti-establishment subcultures of the 1960s – from La Jolla to London.
