Terry Southern was the hipster's hipster, the perfect icon of cool. A small-town Texan, he disdained his roots and bopped with the Beats, hobnobbed with Sartre and Camus, and had William Faulkner for a friend. He was considered one of the most creative and original players writing for the Paris Review, and yet his greatest literary success was the semipornographic pulp novel, Candy.
