Terry Taylor

    Terry Taylor was a significant figure in London's artistic milieu, whose life became a source of literary inspiration. His writing, exemplified by "Baron's Court, All Change," explored themes of drug culture and youth, notably marking him as the first British novelist to mention LSD. Taylor's experiences, including extensive travel and encounters with notable literary figures, imbued his work with a distinctive perspective. His narrative voice captured a unique slice of counterculture life, leaving a lasting imprint on the literature of his era.

      Described as the Holy Grail of Beatnik (and Mod) novels, Terry Taylor's only published book, unavailable for decades, documents one summer in the life of the unnamed sixteen year-old narrator. Leaving his home and job he dabbles with spiritualism, is seduced by an older woman and moves into dealing dope. His London is sharp suits, jazz, drugs, spades, nightclubs, sex. Rare secondhand copies of the first edition have sold for 300+ on line.Terry Taylor was born in 1933 and inspired the novel Absolute Beginners by Colin MacInnes. Aside from being an assistant to noted photographer Ida Kar (and her lover, despite the age difference between them), Terry was also a hustler; so he knew a thing or three about drugs. He now lives quietly in Wales."
