Title: The Beat Generation from most of the way inside
Product review: Victor Bockris has a knack for being around interesting people and his essays and interviews of the Beat Generation celebrities are legendary. This book is cobbled together from those writings. We see Burroughs and Ginsberg, followed by their punk worshippers Patti Smith and Richard Hell, with Susan Sontag, Andy Warhol, and Robert Mapplethorpe along the way. Beat turns to Punk, and this book comes to market. Interesting bits on the people involved, but you're always left wanting for a bit more.
