Tales of Beatnik Glory
"Here's another alternate life fantasy: If I were a Beat, [Ed] Sanders is the Beat I'd most like to have been. Virtually the only one I really admire as a poet: his Egyptological and classical Greek learning inflect, in a brilliant way, his vision of the East Village as a site of comic, mythic, pornographic legends. Beatitude fused with grungitude: a sensibility best exemplified in prose in Sanders' Tales of Beatnik Glory."
