A Book Review that Nobody Asked For: Memoirs of a Beatnik by Diane di Prima

Have you ever read a book so wildly unique, so relentlessly its own thing, that, immediately upon finishing it, you want to call up every reader you know and tell them: “I just read this amazing thing and now you must read it too!”

This is what happened to me with Memoirs of a Beatnik by Diane di Prima.
