This was great. I really liked the Kerouac, Olson, and Kesey articles. Kerouac was old, bitter, and very random. Olson would not answer a question no matter what & actually got frustrated with the interview process. Kesey said a lot of kind hearted things and was very respectful.
The Ginsberg class was awesome. I learned a lot about being serious and spontaneous at the same time.
The final two articles on Rosset (of Grove Press) and Ferlinghetti (of city lights) were more about publishing then writing. I would have like to have seen them replaced with maybe Ed Sanders and someone from the west coast–Brother Antonius would have obviously be fantastic.
Over all this was an amazingly good read.
