I have been given the amazing opportunity to give out 5 copies of Sway by Zachary Lazar.

Zachary Lazar, who took his title from the Keith Richards song of the same name on the Sticky Fingers album, was an infant in the closing years of the 1960s. He therefore writes from copious research rather than memory, but the novel seems to be the appropriate form for his story. Several critics expressed surprise that there could be anything new to say about the overanalyzed decade, but with the exception of the Toronto Star, they agreed that Lazar offers fresh insight into the era’s more ominous undercurrents. Critics praised his vivid, sparkling prose and his success in depicting characters already so well known, as he strips them bare of myth and legend and renders them completely human. “Lazar makes the atmosphere of a decade almost palpable,” claims the Boston Globe, and readers just may forget that Sway is a work of fiction.

    I would like to win this book and share it with my sister. She’s an old hippie.
    I was in a band so I can relate to all the drama. It would have been so cool to jam with the Stones. Music and Manson! Two of my favorite subjects.
