New Olympia Reader, 1957-1966: The Best from the First Ten Years of America's Most Provocative, Most Controversial, Most Important Literary Magazine

A featured selection of the Book of the Month Club. From the beginning, EVERGREEN was known as the magazine with the daringly offbeat angle...on people, on art, on politics, on living. From its very first issue, it provided a forum for writers who were too controversial, viewpoints which were too unpopular, subjects which were too bizarre for other magazines. In the pages of this illustrated anthology are included what the editors have chosen as among the best & most representative works the magazine published over the first decade of its existence. In issue after issue of that decade, EVERGREEN REVIEW published the most advanced work of the world's most gifted writers, artists, sculptors, playwrights--including the most provocative newcomers from America & abroad. Here is where it all happened...the cultural explosion of that decade...the fight for the new freedom in every area of the arts & letters & theater...where the old restrictions were first broken down--sexual, racial, & other taboos destroyed. Among writers are Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett, William Burroughs, John Rechy, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Fuentes, Gunter Grass, Jack Kerouga, Octavia Paz, Terry Southern.
