Sinossi
A lungo considerato un classico underground per i toni crudi e i contenuti sfacciatamente erotici, Memorie di una beatnik (1969) è un'autobiografia al confine tra storia e invenzione, arte e pornografia, confessione e fantasia. Con piglio ironico e spietata lucidità, Diane di Prima ripercorre una pagina cruciale della cultura statunitense a partire dai comportamenti e dalle vicissitudini quotidiane dei suoi protagonisti. New York, primi anni Cinquanta: Diane ha diciotto anni quando abbandona l'università e si trasferisce a Manhattan, là dove il Lower East Side si fa labirinto di miseria, rabbia e bellezza. Il suo appartamento diventa presto un punto d'incontro per amici, artisti erranti e figure irregolari di ogni sorta. Siamo in uno dei primi esperimenti di vita collettiva, in uno spazio di libertà assoluta, nel quale le relazioni affettive, il sesso, le droghe, ma anche la musica, la scrittura e la creazione artistica vengono esplorati con urgenza autentica e radicale.

What I wanted was to know what it was like for a woman to be part of such an amazing scene and time, what I got was a lot of unsavory descriptions of casual sex with multiple partners. I had no idea I'd become such a prude.
A schizophrenic book, with two distinct personalities: hardcore smut and bohemian memoir. It starts out on the smutty side--the first three chapters are basically quick set-ups for sex scenes--and the sex is written about in classic porno style (lots of lines like "I took his huge, throbbing cock in Leggi tutto
I am going to make this short and sweet. I absolutely hated this book. I am far from being a prude, but the content of this book was neither worth my time nor money and I was majorly disappointed that it could even be called a memoir - of a beatnik no less. How interesting, I thought. The feminist i Leggi tutto
Kind of awesome. Absolutely LOADED with high-detail explicit polyeverything sex, but in a way that irks me a whole lot less than Henry Miller (because it's not ragingly sexist, funny that) or even Anais Nin (because it's not as oooh and aahhh about the whole thing). It's also (mostly, except for a c Leggi tutto
an erotic bible of sorts 🖤
This book is 80% hyped up erotica (which becomes fairly predictable after the first couple chapters, boring even) and 20% reality. It is worth reading for that 20%, the glimpse through the keyhole of how the Beat artists, poets, writers and actors lived in 1950s New York City, in all its splendid gr Leggi tutto
this book is very bohemian and smutty, and i am loving it very much. If you're into beat literature, erotic literature, feminist literature, then read this. It's amazing.
