Non-Fiction Pick of the Week: The Typewriter is Holy

The Typewriter is Holy by Bill Morgan 2010

Bill Morgan’s The Typewriter is Holy: the complete, uncensored history of the Beat Generation is a broad look at all the major literary figures of ‘The Beats’. It is also a no-holds-barred exposé of the radical revolutionaries of the 60s who shook America to its roots. The literary giants with feet of clay have been the focus of Bill Morgan’s career. He was a friend of Lawrence Ferlinghetti from the early days of the City Lights bookstore, and the archivist to Allen Ginsberg. His singular perspective gives us an insider’s view of literary and social history in the making.
