"The Beat Generation and the Angry Young Men' (1959)




New York City: Dell Publishing (book, anthology, 1st thus), 1959.
6.5" x 4.25" x 0.875", 416 pages, softcover.

The Beat Generation and the Angry Young Men, an early Beat anthology edited by Gene Feldman and Max Gartenberg, this being the 1st US softcover version. William S. Burroughs appears in this anthology as "William Lee" (the nom-de-plume used for Junkie, 1952, from which his contribution here, "My First Days on Junk", originates).

This copy has been with me for over 30 years, acquired at Stage House Books, Boulder, CO.
