The Beat Generation in San Francisco: A Literary Tour

4.2/5 ( ratings)

This meticulous guide also brings to light never-before-heard stories about Corso, Bob Kaufman, DiPrima, Kyger, Lamantia and other West Coast Beats. A entertaining read as well as a practical walking tour that covers the entire Bay Area. With an introduction by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
