« This collection is dedicated to the counterculture movement that began in earnest with the Beat Generation and its glorious manifestation of hipness and cool.
The modern maverick movement traces its roots to the bop-era jazz musicians of the 1940s. It connects directly to the goateed beatniks of the '50s who grooved to post-bop jazz and poetry in the smoky darkness of coffeehouses and low-rent pads. And, of course, it was the Beat Generation who stomped out the path later traveled by the hippies of the '60s and the punks of the "70s.
Those of us who lean toward an off-center mode of behavior, in the grand tradition of bohemian nonconformity, owe a debt of gratitude to the individuals who injected cultural noncompliance into the mainstream of 20th-century Americana.
With both reverence and humor, this collection spotlights and examines a fascinating era of independence and experimentation in literature, music, fashion, and vocabulary—the era when this
"long, strange trip" really began.
May you dig, be dug, and above all, stay cool! »
