Free eBooks Tales Of Beatnik Glory/2 Volumes In 1 Available To Downloads
Ed Sanders's mock-heroic (and heroic) odyssey follows poet, filmmaker, and activist Sam Thomas, editor of Dope, Fucking, and Social Change, and a variegated cast of castoffs, dropouts, peaceniks, freakniks, and mendicant filthniks, from Kansas through the beatnik and hippie countercultures of New York City's Lower East Side and Greenwich Village. From the Freedom Rides and confrontations with the Alabama Klan to the "hate-dappled" Summer of Love, Tales of Beatnik Glory is the epic of America in the sixties, in a language of droll invention and stoned mythopoesis, from a man who once dared to exorcise the Pentagon.

I want to read all 9000 of those pages over and over! Fabrente Rose, a poem in the second volume, deals so well with the early Socialism of America, and I'm still using the couplet "in di gasn tsu di masn" to express the actions needed. His poem deals with the sex, the drugs, the Lower East Side, the perf-po, the lifestyles, the people, the EVERYTHING! The final poem, which deals with Freedom Summer, was perfectly written. I generally judge a book by the very ending, and this is the best ending to one of the best books I have ever read.
Interesting book for beatnik fans. A colorful narrative of that time. It is very well written and held my interest.
funny book anyone who calls his band the fugs is alright in my book he was and is an icon.
fast delivery for this ribald archaic compilation.....and dig...never trust the man
