“Potrei fare di tutto pur di ottenere quello che voglio”: è questo il dogma della diciannovenne Katie, la protagonista di Groupie, autobiografia romanzata scritta da Jenny Fabian insieme a Johnny Byrne nel 1969, e divenuta presto la bibbia di una generazione. Con la sua incrollabile devozione al sesso, alla droga e al rock’n’roll, Katie racconta le sue esperienze di “groupie” al seguito delle più grandi star della musica – da Syd Barrett dei Pink Floyd ad Andy Summers dei Police, passando per Animals, Soft Machine e Jimi Hendrix Experience. A distanza di decenni, oltre che intramontabile oggetto di culto, Groupie è un romanzo vivido e appassionante, scanzonato e irriverente, e soprattutto capace di restituire un fedele spaccato della Londra underground e rock’n’roll di fine anni Sessanta.
