- How to Be a Nonconformist
Originally published in 1967, "How To Be a Nonconformist" has just been reissued by www.Onzo.biz
With intricate pen-and-ink drawings and wry commentary, the book captures a unique period in American history, the era of flower children and anti-war demonstrations. Author Elissa Karg was 16 years old when the book was first published. A new introduction and author's note focus on the relevance of nonconformity in today's world.
Here is what Utne Reader had to say about "How To Be a Nonconformist":
The little barefoot, singing hippies that march across the pages of Elissa Jane Karg's recently republished book, "How to be a Nonconformist", illustrate 23 playful steps to becoming a bona fide rebel. Karg's advice, originally published as a comic-strip for her high school newspaper in the '60s, mischievously elbows the counterculture of that time with tips like, " [a] void socks. They are the fatal give-away of a phony nonconformist." Warning: Cracking open this book may pull you back in time. It also may leave you dwelling on things nonconformist today. At the very least, it'll induce a smile.” -- Jenna Fisher. From the Stacks: December 15, 2006. Utne.com.
