Curious literary "tour" with biographical insights into the lives of Kerouac, Burroughs, Brautigan, Ferlinghetti, Cassady, Ginsberg, and more. Although surprised I was to learn of Jim Morrison acting in the Living Theatre's production of Paradise, I researched this myself and think it more likely he was actually just a member of the audience as it encouraged audience participation. Still, I was pleased to read and learn about the antics of some of my favourite authors, and it introduced me to even more amiable characters eg Philip Lamantia, Michael McClure, Peter Orlovsky, Kenneth Rexroth, and Philip Whalen. Reading, whilst mentally following the maps of the places made an interesting read. ( ) Take a walking tour of Howl's creation, including the hotel building that helped inspire Moloch, the apartment where Ginsberg wrote the first draft of Howl, the building which housed the Six Gallery where Howl was first read, and City Lights bookstore where Howl was first published and sold. Some photographs are included of the aforementioned spots. Indexed. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
