Allen Ginsberg se stal objektem celoamerického zájmu v roce 1956, kdy se u soudu v San Francisku projednával obsah jeho „obscénní" básně „Kvílení". Ginsbergova silná představivost, politická agitace a charisma z něj udělaly symbol kulturní transformace posledních padesáti let. Kniha J. Kramerové je pronikavým a vášnivým portrétem Ginsbergova světa a lidí v něm žijících, který se přelévá napříč Amerikou od San Franciska ke školám Středozápadu, od newyorské East Village ke kalifornskému stylu „být u toho".
In this illuminating, beautifully written collection of essays, the acclaimed New Yorker writer reports on the zeitgeist of reunified Germany. Jane Kramer surveys the fraught moral and political landscape of today's Germany, where the reunification of East and West has brought into conflict two vastly different memories of what it means to "be German."
