Title: aha, I thought so...
Review: I thought the book was a good read and written in a style that brought to mind the 50's intellectual feel of shows like David Suskind, Irv Kupcinet etc. I thought the comments on Ginsberg and Mailer were very revealing and confirmed my suspicions all along of both. I always had the feeling that most of the New York intellectuals were and still are communinists. They hate America and Americans-though this book doesn't come out and state it directly, every page implies it. I adored his summary of Hellman's writing as " her imitation of Hammet's imitation of Hemingway." My only wish is that he didn't include more of that crowd.
Is the review positive or negative?
