From Mordecai Richler's masterpiece, Barney's Version -
Day of The Locust is regarded as one of the greatest Hollywood novels.
Kerouac's Good Blonde, where he hitchhikes a ride from, you guessed it, a "good blonde". From 1965 Playboy, with accompanying painting by Roy Schnackenberg.
From the New York School.
Prairie Fire: Political Statement of the Weather Underground. Interesting note regarding Prairie Fire.
The Diggers, 1960's organization based in San Francisco. From the Digger Papers, "The Post Competitive Comparative Game of a Free City." Emmett Grogan, ( see "Ringolevio") claims that he was the author of this article.
Fear And Loathing 2004, title page with Ralph Steadman illustration. Compare to Hunter Thompson's first article in Rolling Stone two posts below (Battle of Aspen, 1970).
From City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O'Hara by Brad Gooch. Description of a poetry reading where the New York School and The Beats were trying to build a comraderie. I love O'Hara's quip at Kerouac.
The Battle of Aspen, title page. Hunter S Thompson's first article in Rolling Stone magazine.
