The Z Collection is a memoir in the form of personal essays about Nelson Algren, William Burroughs, Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, E.L. Doctorow, William Styron, Abbie Hoffman, among others, and about the literary underground of the 1960s. This “time capsule made of words” is full of literary surprises.
His most extensive and engaging essay underscores the vitality of 1960s counterculture, a time when he collaborated with a coterie of writers and artists. The Z Collection brings the reader along as a traveling companion and offers tantalizing insights.
