The first American novel to be banned in England since Hubert Selby Jr.’s Last Exit to Brooklyn, Evil Companions is one of the most controversial books of the 1960s. Exploring the direct connection between pleasure and pain, D. M. Perkins dreams up a scenario of what it would have been like had the hippie generation actually been as debauched and perverted as conservative onlookers believed it to be. Delving into forbidden sexuality, Evil Companions is a shocking and intriguing novel.
