Reviews

Great drawings. Minimalist poetry but worth checking out.
The only reason I docked a star is because of the exorbitant price I had to fork out to get this but given its rarity, I guess it can't be helped.
The four major beat writers/poets - Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs and Corso - were all different and unique, passing on a legacy still relevant to today's generation.
This small work by Corso showcases more his artistic skills and also his sense of humor. The drawings herein resemble those in Corso's only (and incomprehensible) novel, The American Express and also remind me of the artwork on Neil Young's album Zuma. Worth checking out...if you can afford it.
