"After a summer trip to the Soviet Union, Westbrook wrote his first book at age 17, Journey Behind the Iron Curtain, published in 1963 by G. P. Putnam's Sons. The wild years at Columbia University in the 1960s helped inspire his first novel, The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart, published by Crown in 1970. The novel became an MGM film, with a young, theretofore-unknown actor named Don Johnson in the title role. The film was praised by Andy Warhol for its depiction of the New York counter culture scene of the late 1960s. " (from WIkipedia) .
