Offers a human approach to a group of men who are too often treated merely as legends.

A great book as well as a wonderful autobiography. -- Washington Post Book World <br><br> A poignant recollection--truthful, coarse, and inviting-- teeming with the spirit of the men who inspired and symbolized the dreams of a generation. -- San Francisco Chronicle <br><br> This is the book to be read in tandem with Kerouacs On the Road, Ginsberg's Howl , and Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test . It fits like the lost half of a broken plate. -- The Literary Review <br><br>
