5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest prose of the era, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tales of Beatnik Glory/2 Volumes in 1 (Paperback)

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.
