In the mid-'60s the media had burned out the Beat Generation and the
Hippies hadn't arrived so they turned to motorcycle gangs for the covers
of Life and other mags. I bought a cheap paperback because the cover art
had bikers.
I was carrying it around to read between classes when the English
professor saw it and praised my taste in literature. I played it cool and
didn't let on I was puzzled by the complete lack of motorcycles that had
been on the cover and the weird Russian slang the characters used. Of
course I didn't have a clue who Burgess was.
