Tales of Beatnik Glory by Ed Sanders

Welcome to another episode of the Bowie Book Club, where wild speculation
and grasping for straws about Bowie’s favorite books has reigned supreme
since 2016. This time we read a series of connected stories circling the
post-beat, pre-hippie world of Lower Mahattan in Tales Of Beatnik Glory by
Ed Saunders. Join us for a hour or two at the Total Assault Cantina!
