My signed copy of the new & revised Memory Babe |
My very own signed copy of the new & revised edition of Gerald Nicosia's Memory Babe: A Critical Biography of Jack Kerouac arrived in the mail today. I can' wait to dig into all 841 pages. I want to review it here on The Daily Beat, but of course I need to read it first.The official publication date is September 6 (when it will be in stores and on Amazon). The big reviews like Publishers Weekly won’t review a book unless the publication date is at least four months out. But don't despair -- you can get an advance copy now by contacting the author at gnicosia@earthlink.net.
Congratulations on a monumental achievement, Gerry!
thnx for the great blog!!!!
