salemdoorstop's review against another edition
4.0
I loved beatnik glory. I know it's standard fare to focus on the indulgent nature of the beatniks, but this book seemed to have a nice middle ground, discussing the protest movement, sex, music, and drugs really only being a peripheral until halfway or so through the book. there are a few stories which focus wholly on the experience of whatever mescaline Sam took that day, but largely it was just a neat window into a New York I can only imagine: where people can enjoy life and not kill themselves trying to exist.
