Voices From The Underground.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evergreen Review Reader 1957-1966 (Paperback)
A collection of substantial literary material from one of the best voices of dissidence & nonconformism;gems that howl,speak & whisper from the side of literatures remorseless tongue.Personal faves here are the excerpt from Alexander Trocchi's novel "Cains Book";Octavio Paz's essay;Robert Coover's "The Square Shooter & The Saint";Ginsberg's "Howl" of course;Kerouac's "October In The Railroad Earth",the interview on Louis-Ferdinand Celine;& many more.Not only is this good reading material to ingest differentiating one from the usual academic blah that turn a lot off to literature;it also familiarizes oneself to a lot of talented & great authors that one may not be aware of if not for this impressive book.

...a valentine gift, belated ...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Olympia Reader (Paperback)
I bought this book of mid-century erotica for a gal was getting to know... she already had it, and hated having to search through boring bits to find the bits she really liked. So, I bought her an extra copy she could cut down (with a knife) into the a "just the hits" version.
The book arrived a bit after the desired Valentine weekend, but it was a well received first gift at the beginning of our courtship. ... through she ultimately stopped seeing me after a few (thrilling) weeks. As for the book. It's not bad, from what I've read. I've only perused those pages she excised and left around my bed. |
