The Beat Handbook: Reviewed

NOTE: The date for this post is wrong. Blogger is FUBAR lately, and I cannot get the posting to show February 24, which is the correct date for the post. Yesterday's post doesn't show a date! Grrrr.... Bottom line: I haven't missed a day since September 2008.

Here's a link to a recent review of The Beat Handbook: Reader Views.

Okay, it doesn't compare to Jack's New York Times review of On The Road (how could it?).

But hey, the reviewer has a Ph.D. and she didn't trash it!

That's something, right?

P.S. I don't know the reviewer.

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
