We've gone through a wide variety of different looks in our thirteen-year history. LitKicks began as a very simple set of text pages about the Beat Generation, supplemented by Beat News, which future archeologists may someday identify as the earliest literary blog.
Literary Kicks was founded in 1994 by Levi Asher. I sent him a copy of The Beat Handbook to review, but have heard nothing. That was months ago. I guess it's too "lowbrow" for him.
Oh, well . . . . Maybe some of my minions will e-mail him at levi.asher@gmail.com and ask him to review it.
Whether he reviews my book or not, positive review or negative, I still like the blog - I visit it every day to see what's doing.
Thanks for the article. There's a fairly interesting article on On the Road in Kotori Magazine. It examines the book's continued appeal fifty years after it was first published, and why it remains relevant to our modern times.
