Beat down to your soul
If you are at all interested in the Beat writers, or anything Beat related, this is at least an interesting book to peruse through. I didn't read every single word on every single page, I must admit. My time with this book is twice overdue, according to my library.
There is a mix of first-hand accounts with beat writers, articles on beat writers and the so-called Beat Generation, and fun writings/letters/poems by the Beats themselves.
This is definitely a book you can't just read straight through. As much as a tried. It must be revisited. Which I intend to do.
