Dharma Lion : A Critical Biography of Allen Ginsberg by Michael Schumacher 1994

<![CDATA[<div>Dharma Lion: A Critical Biography of Allen Ginsberg by Michael Schumacher (1994 Softcover Edition) Draws from eight years of research and full access to Ginsberg's journals to present a dramatic biography that depicts three centuries of vanguard popular culture, from the Beat Generation of the 1950s to the Buddhist revival of the seventies. "Probably the longest nonfiction book I’ve read in my whole life, and one of the most engaging and well-written ones, too. It reads like a novel. It is, in fact, a literary matryoshka in that it’s not only a comprehensive Ginsberg biography, but also a history of the Beat Generation as well as a brief history of American counterculture: hippies, anti-war movement, anti-nuclear movement, gay liberation, the fight against the demonization of certain drugs … Man, Ginsberg WAS counterculture! This book is massive, but very rich in detail and rather wonderful." - Jo, GoodReads Vintage Softcover / St. Martin's Press / 1994 / Very Good Condition
