The Best Minds of My Generation: A Literary History of the Beats by Allen Ginsberg

4.0

Finally finished despite having a reading hiatus for a few weeks. I’m a big fan of the writing and literature surrounding the Beat Generation and Ginsberg’s collections of essays/lectures is essential in understanding the writing, individuals and influences of the period. It focus on a broad range from artistic and cultural influences, poetics and the development of the socio-cultural movements of the 40-60’s.
