Amazon.com: Books: Venice West: The Beat Generation in Southern California (#)

„Maynard's study of the Venice West bohemians (who didn't think of themselves as Beats) is a fascinating study of the people who created many of our perceptions of what Life's Paul O'Neil called "The Only Rebellion Around." The Venice community, writes Maynard, consisted of only two dozen or so writers and artists, of whom only one, poet Stuart Perkoff, was truly original. Lipton, says Maynard, tried to make the Venice Beats in his own image--his "holy barbarians" who will storm the gates of civilization "not with the weapons of war but with the songs and ikons of peace." Maynard provides brief biographies of the Venice West principals, including Lipton and Perkoff, and details the saga of the Venice West Cafe' Expresso (sic), where Perkoff had painted "Art is Love Is God" on the back wall. The last chapters chronicle the decline of the Venice West bohemian community in the 1960s and into the 70s. Most scholarly studies of the Beats focus on Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs--three very original writers.“
