Annotation |
The author, a friend and literary associate of Allen Ginsberg for many years, portrays the man whose poetry shocked the literary world, and who, according to Miles, was the founder of the "beat generation." Miles writes of Ginsberg's neurotic mother, his experiments with drugs, his spiritual enlightenment, his homosexuality, and his advocacy for gay rights. Strong language and descriptions of sex.
