Leon Uris: A Critical Companion Book

I thought this was good overall. The book is a series of interviews on the Beats (ginsberg, kerouac, burroughs, et al) what i liked about it is that the interviewers asked very simple questions and listenned. the books givs some realy interesting insight into the minds of some of these amazing writers and if you are looking to write at some point it would be worth reading this as there are some amzing ideas in here. the book talks about things like, drugs, publishers, culture, counterculture, racism, powtry, art, history, philosophy, more drugs, sex, imagery, truth, first thought, bvest thought .... "but how can a poet learn to feel more if he lives so much in his head.", othere areas covered are, moroccan cultre, writiing tchniques, hints and tips, the nature of thought ... interesting book. in places, few places, a little boring and over my head.
