In his book 'Everything Is Now: The 1960s New York Avant-Garde-Primal Happenings, Underground Movies, Radical Pop,' J. Hoberman combines extensive research with personal history to create a unique narrative. The densely packed information reflects his dedication to chronicling the tumultuous art scene of 1960s New York. Hoberman's journalistic approach and personal touch transform what could have been a mere chronology into a multifaceted exploration of cultural memory. His reflections on collective memory and thorough investigations into period publications enrich the book, making it a significant contribution to understanding that era's artistic landscape.
"Everything Is Now is a startlingly slow read—and I say that with unbridled enthusiasm. The distillation of vast research offers relentless ricochets of association."
"The ideal of collective memory is built into the very nature of Hoberman's research. He interviewed witnesses and read through virtually every copy of the Voice from late 1958 to early 1972."
