Voices From The Underground.

A collection of substantial literary material from one of the best voices of dissidence & nonconformism;gems that howl,speak & whisper from the side of literatures remorseless tongue.Personal faves here are the excerpt from Alexander Trocchi's novel "Cains Book";Octavio Paz's essay;Robert Coover's "The Square Shooter & The Saint";Ginsberg's "Howl" of course;Kerouac's "October In The Railroad Earth",the interview on Louis-Ferdinand Celine; & many more.Not only is this good reading material to ingest differentiating one from the usual academic blah that turn a lot off to literature;it also familiarizes oneself to a lot of talented & great authors that one may not be aware of if not for this impressive book.
