The Beats: A Graphic History by Paul M. Buhle

2.0

This superficial history reads like a brief, uncritical encyclopedia article on the Beats that a variety of artists decided to illustrate. The one exception is Joyce Brabner's piece about "Beatnik Chicks" that highlights the sexism of the movement, which is often conveniently overlooked. No fan of the Beats, I found nothing in here to change my mind or inspire me to read more by them.
