"The drive, the fury, the frankness they bring to their writing has made the Beat Generation the most hotly discussed literary movement of this century.
"Here is the Beat world, the world that has aroused the critics to shocked outrage and loud praise. Here is the jazz, the junk, the jargon -- and, above all, the anger.
"Here is a ruthlessly honest collection of their writing together with some sharp critical assessments of their deliberate sensationalism and their holy war with Society". [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1963]
"A time-capsule selection". --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).
