Forfatter: Jane Kramer Allen Ginsberg came to national attention when his poem "Howl" was the subject of a San Francisco obscenity trial in 1956. Since then, millions of copies of the poem have been read on college campuses and elsewhere all over America. His powerful imagination, political agitation, and magnetic charisma have made him a symbol of the cultural transformation of the past fifty years. Jane Kramer's book is an incisive and passionately human portrayal of Ginsberg's world and the people in it, whirling across America from San Francisco to Midwest college towns, from New York's East Village to California be-ins. Since his passing in 1997, Ginsberg has come to be recognized as a key figure in the American literary pantheon.

Ole Lund Kirkegaard - en livshistorie af Jens Andersen " Allerede som dreng var han begavet med et alsidigt talent, der med tiden gjorde ham til en fremragende maler, stor forfatter og original skolelærer. Lærer Kirkegaard brugte ikke kun børnenes fantasi og humor som et pædagogisk redskab, men også som løftestang for et af dansk litteraturs mest lysende og læste forfatterskaber. I årene 1967-75 skrev og tegnede han seks klassikere på stribe og blev på papiret far til drengeskikkelser som Lille Virgil, Albert, Orla-Frøsnapper, Hodja fra Pjort, Topper, Gummi-Tarzan, Arnold, Frode, Per og bette Mads. Men i kølvandet af den uafbrudte succes og stigende popularitet følte Ole Lund Kirkegaard sig i 1970'erne mere og mere spærret inde i sit lærerjob, sin kunst og sit ægteskab, vendte ryggen til det meste og kastede sig ud i en kaotisk og selvdestruktiv livsførelse, der endte i en snedrive på en øde kirkegård i marts 1979. " Bogen er overdådigt illustreret og rummer et væld af ukendte fotos, samt aldrig tidligere offentliggjorte tegninger og malerier fra den unge og ældre Ole Lund Kirkegaards hånd.
