Great Demon Kings: A Memoir of Poetry, Sex, Art, Death, and Enlightenment by John Giorno

4.0

For anyone who is a fan of the 1960s, poetry, Andy Warhol, and the history of Gay New York City. I wish John would have focused a bit more on his writing, reflections on his impact to the scene, as he spent a lot of time focused on the details of others. And although those other characters - Warhol, Rauschenberg, Burroughs - are fascinating, I was hoping to learn more about Giorno. Unless, is he just a sum of parts - a collection of experiences from this other 'Demon Kings'? Nevertheless, a fascinating, scintillating read from a dying breed.
