Synopsis
Hailed as "thoroughly fascinating" by The New York Times, this study recaptures the vibrantly eccentric lifestyles of generations of American hipsters and outsider artists. Cartoons, drawings, and photos illustrate its profiles of nonconformists and iconoclasts such as Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and Ambrose Bierce. This edition updates the story to the Beat Generation.
