EVERGREEN REVIEW Dispatches from the Literary Underground Covers & Essays 1957-1973

From the late 1950s to the mid-70s, work by contributors like Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Amiri Baraka, Eldridge Cleaver, Timothy Leary, Dennis Hopper, Jean Genet, Jerry Rubin, Bernadette Devlin, and Germaine Greer regularly appeared in the countercultural magazine Evergreen Review. Their subversive work and radical politics defined outsider literature for an entire generation. Hip photography and sexy covers also propelled the magazine into iconic status. For the first time, full color reproductions of all  covers of all 100 issues from 1957 to 1973, plus hundreds of pages from many of the issues are reprinted exactly as they looked then -- with all illustrations, photography, even the ads for other books, albums, letters to the editor left intact! Minor nudity. Edited by Barney Rosset of Grove Press, Evergreen Review was a quarterly illustrated/photography driven reflection of that genre. Historian Pat Thomas interviewed original 1960s era Evergreen staffers to get the inside scoop on the day-to-day operation of the magazine, and those conversations join new essays looking back on this golden era by John Oakes, Loren Glass, Kasia Boddy, Dale Peck, Ethan Persoff, Ken and Stanley Gontarski. Will this new Evergreen Review change the world as it did in the 1960s? Of course it will!
