Guy Maynard ’84 on “The Risk of Being Ridiculous”

Oregon Quarterly Editor Guy Maynard ’84’s first novel.

“It’s Boston 1969 and nineteen-year-old Ben Tucker lives in a funky apartment on Mountfort Street with his tribe of fellow long-haired freaks. Together they mix radical street politics, a love of rock and roll, and celebratory drug use in their desperate search for lives that make sense in a world distorted by war, racism, and bankrupt values.”
