reviewed A Beautiful Pageant on April 13, 2008
A Beautiful Pageant
On the plus side, Morgan's book was a pretty quick read, and there's plenty of information for someone who has a limited biographical sketch of the Beats. On the minus side, the writing is wooden (particularly noticeable in a book about dynamic writers), and Morgan never really makes a convincing argument for how the Beats changed America (or why they're particularly important, for that matter). Overall, it was a "meh" read for me.
