not sure if you’re looking for nonfiction but bugliosi was the prosecutor in the manson trial and i lost sleep over this one! still thinking about it yrs later lol
A Manson book in which Manson is not even the most evil guy, but someone named DR. JOLLY is. Good example of how Pynchon was not exaggerating at all. I could not put this book down
had to read it for a class project in 10th grade and it changed my entire taste in literature. it’s a nonlinear multidimensional journey through a prisoner of war’s life and mind affected by postwar trauma. super funny, super important.
