Now I went into this book knowing what to expect because my teacher warned us before reading it for my Beat class. And I think the Author's note and the Afterword says a lot to why she wrote this book the way she did. But most of the sex was written just to satisfy her publishers so she could get paid. She was someone outside of Kerouac and Ginsberg's circle, so she wasn't even aware the was a thing called Beat until she read Howl. This was a woman who was beat outside of the beats for a long time. But there is stuff hidden beneath the surface that you really don't notice until the last chapter. I laugh at all the negative reviews of the book because all they saw was a pornographic novel, which is true, because that is what is was written as. ![]()
