Summary
Dive into the vibrant, offbeat heart of Greenwich Village in The Village Square, a 1961 cultural time capsule curated by pioneering underground journalist John Wilcock. This first edition hardcover, protected in a Brodart archival sleeve, offers readers an eclectic blend of essays, snippets, and scene reports from the Village’s golden age—a place teeming with artists, rebels, and avant-garde thinkers. With an introduction by Bill Manville, the book mirrors the cut-and-paste aesthetic of its time, capturing a freewheeling spirit of experimentation and political commentary. Wilcock, co-founder of The Village Voice and a collaborator with Andy Warhol, shares a bohemian mosaic of Village life—raw, witty, and unfiltered. Ideal for collectors of counterculture ephemera and fans of Beat-era Americana, this book is a rare artifact from a bygone era of literary rebellion and sociocultural upheaval.
