Book 47 - Terry Southern "Now Dig This"
Terry Southern "Now Dig This : The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern, 1950-1995" (Grove Press)

Terry's wild, salacious humor fully present here, in a miscellany of forms, but also, sadly, this collection somewhat chronicles his decline into a Capote-like self parody once his era was gone. Still, Terry Southern on his worst day could write (and talk--several of the pieces in this collection are hilarious interviews)in a way most writers can only dream about.
