"America needs more books like Bloom's. It's funny and smart, which is a rare combination in a country where much of the publishing industry looks to bang out 'worthy' beard-pulling tomes that may never get read thoroughly. His work is a refreshing change."
―Forbes
"I know a lot of people. A lot. And I ask a lot of prying questions. But I've never run into a more intriguing biography than Howard Bloom's in all my born days."
―Paul Solman, Business and Economics Correspondent, PBS NewsHour

"What you discover in How I Accidentally Started the Sixties is Howard Bloom, the contemporary Rabelais―or the contemporary Jonathan Swift. How I Accidentally Started the Sixties insists on enthusiastically slapping one's head around to create a kind of gaga that is wild and unique."
―Richard Foreman, MacArthur Genius Award Winner, founder The Ontological-hysteric Theater
"I have just landed from the hurricane Irma-like whirl of reading How I Accidentally Started the Sixties. A teenage Howard Bloom went looking for some meaning to life and instead crashed into the Sixties, long before they consumed the rest of America. At the time, penury, drugs and not enough sex did strange things to his mind, but five decades later the result is a vivid, gripping and humorous memoir of a crazy journey that he somehow survived. Bravo for How I Accidentally Started the Sixties. And bravo for Bloom's life of exploration of body and soul."
―Alan Riding, writer for Reuters, The Financial Times, The Economist, and The New York Times, author of And the Show Went On: Cultural Life in Nazi-Occupied Paris
"Cackling my way through How I Accidentally Started the Sixties. Great comic writing."
―Grant Morrison, author of Arkham Asylum
“What a wonderful book. Leave it to Howard Bloom to invent what feels like a new literary genre. A young man’s coming of age, and how an age became, woven together with genius and a sly sense of humor.”
―Carl Gottlieb, former executive producer WUSA TV news Washington DC, former Deputy Director of The Project for Excellence in Journalism
