Funny writer, too: have you read "My Vita, If You Will"? More McClanahan mischief. Also -- Terry Southern's book "Now Dig This" has his Esquire piece on Chicago 1968 detailing the fun at the Dem convention with Ginsberg, Genet and Burroughs.

However, if you want to read something truly hilarious -- and shedding some light on Genet at the same time -- I recommend finding Ed McClanahan's biographical masterpiece Famous People I Have Known. In it, Ed recounts the hilarious spectacle of attending (alongside Ken Kesey) a party thrown for Jean Genet by the Black Panthers at their HQ in Oakland. You will PEE YOUR PANTS!Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227897435304280583noreply@blogger.com
