Energy, conviction, and unexpected brilliance.-New Yorker.
The definitive history of the 'beat generation'.... It is an
authoritative piece of literary history as a result of which
Kerouac, Burroughs, and Ginsberg will be read with greater
understanding, sympathy, and insight.-Leon Edel. Naked
Angels is continually illuminating...written with insight,
passion, and an awareness of just how prophetic these men
were in their lives and works. I consider it an essential
book.-John Clellon Holmes. Strong, urgent, ultimately
thrilling.-Peter Schjeldahl, New York Times Book Review. As
fine a view as we are likely to get of this vibrant phase in
American literary history.-Chicago Sun-Times. A thoroughly
readable and persuasive work...by far the best extensive
commentaries on the works of Burroughs, Kerouac, and
Ginsberg.-Thomas Parkinson, American Literature.
