Selected by Indie Booksellers for the December 2008 Indie Next List
“Unlike most rediscovered works by well-known authors, this collaboration between two of the best-known Beat writers is well done and extremely readable. Based on actual events and told in alternating chapters, this will not disappoint fans of either writer.”
-- Carol Schneck, Schuler Books & Music, Okemos, MI


Description
