One of the best books on Buddhism. The Beat Generation of the 1960s can be looked at with the same spirit of historical dissertation as the Transcendentalists of the 1860s. The great Luminaries of the Beat Generation such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Diane di Prima and William S Burroughs are covered in this book. This book hearkens back to a spiritually meaningful era in history and is much recommended.
