DESCRIPTION:
An Alright Book Got this book for school. Don't really like reading it but my English professor told us to get it for class. Came in every nice condition, no folds, no writing in the book, no nothing. Everything is perfect!. "Great Title in the American Outlaw Series" according to A. Woodley. I am surprised that no one has done a reivew on this yet. It is a great company piece to the other American Outlaw titles. The same cast of characters comes through but in essay form. Notable writers include Huber Selby Jr., Elridge Cleaver, and Kurt Vonnegut. You also get some very cool music related essays by Ray Charles and John Sinclair of the MC5. This selection is thinner than the others (which are fairly mammoth). That I would say is the only draw back but it's still close to Great Title in the American Outlaw Series A.

Dont feel obliged to read every essay, but do at least pick it up for the majority of the essays at times soaring, at times getting lost in a Forrest half way up its anus examining the finer points of dust

A raucous eruption of language and a showcase for the best essayists of our time, The Outlaw Bible of American Essays chronicles American history and measures the boundlessness of dissident thought.
