Lola Bensky

Lola Bensky is nineteen when Keith Moon from The Who drops his pants in front of her eyes and Cher borrows her false eyelashes. It's the sixties, and Lola is a reporter in London and New York, conducting interviews with musicians. She talks to Mick Jagger about sex and diets, to Jimi Hendrix about mothers, God - and curlers. Her readers are probably more interested in gossip, but Lola has always been unconventional. Fortunately, her parents don't suspect that she's dealing with people who have experimented with free love and drugs. They survived the concentration camp, but that would put them in their graves. A ravishingly funny and heartbreaking human novel about neuroses and the burden of the past. And a brilliant homage to the great, crazy heroes of the sixties.
