"The Beats: A Graphic History is everything a radical history should be: critical, admiring, quirky and apologetic. The Beats is largely written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Ed Piskor, with a concluding section of more critical, less biographical pieces written and illustrated by a variety of critics and artists, including Nancy J Peters, Tulu Kupferberg, Summer McClinton, Anne Timmons and others.
The opening section consists of Pekar's biographies of the canonical Beats, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and then onto the less-celebrated members of the scene, including Rexroth, Ferlinghetti, LeRoi Jones, and so forth. These pieces are loving but harsh, sparing their subjects little sympathy for their misdeeds (which are many, ranging from murder and betrayal to vicious misogyny and naive, fleeting affairs with reactionary politics and mysticism). Pekar shows us that a mature person can admire the worthy deeds and art of historical heroes without glossing over their bad acts -- or throwing away their art with their sins.
The Beats of Pekar's work are often geniuses, are capable of great acts of charity and selflessness, and overcome great personal challenges with a great deal of style and perseverance. Pekar shows us where their character flaws took root, explains them -- and never excuses them. At the end of this section, I felt like I understood and appreciated the poetry and prose and music of these people better than I had beforehand."

really, could this be a better book to add to the list...
'tis the season...
Isabella Rossellini's "Green Porno" episodes on the Sundance channel are, for lack of a better word, strange. however, they make me giggle and Isabella is always intoxicating on the screen, even if she is costumed as a limpet.
April in Paris...
my friend Ryan very recently went to Paris. i can't wait to hear his stories...
more to come...
i know it's cliche but the Champs Elysees is pure magic.
so, of course, i have to share a roundup of outfits that i would wear all over the city. sadly, went i was in Paris, i was on a countryside tour of France and didn't bring anything pretty to wear so bear with me on this imaginary indulgence-
more to come...
hanging art...
in my opinion: the more non-traditional and asymmetrical the better. also, if you have kids: hang their art! kid-art is amazing-
