Tales of Beatnik Glory

Tales of Beatnik Glory by Sanders, Ed. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780883730294.

Ed Sandersâ s mock-heroic (and heroic) odyssey follows poet, filmmaker, and activist Sam Thomas, editor of Dope, Fucking, and Social Change, and a variegated cast of castoffs, dropouts, peaceniks, freakniks, and mendicant filthniks, from Kansas through the beatnik and hippie countercultures of New York Cityâ s Lower East Side and Greenwich Village. From the Freedom Rides and confrontations with the Alabama Klan to the â hate-dappledâ Summer of Love, Tales of Beatnik Glory is the epic of America in the sixties, in a language of droll invention and stoned mythopoesis, from a man who once dared to exorcise the Pentagon. This revised edition adds two new volumes and includes twenty-five never-before-published stories
