註釋This new edition, updated and revised, is a memoir in the form of personal essays about Nelson Algren, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Norman Mailer, Godfrey Reggio, Paul Theroux, Ben Hecht, and the author's role in the avant-garde small press underground of the 1960s.-------------------------------------------------------"In this 'time capsule made of words,' Jan Herman shines a penetrating light on a dozen writers and a filmmaker. He uses a tight lens to focus on each of them and makes them vividly present in ways you won't find elsewhere. They sail into view propelled by invaluable insights and historic perspective. Herman has been enviably close to the makers of the Beat Generation, first as secretary to Lawrence Ferlinghetti at City Lights Books, then as a cultural commentator for major American newspapers, and latterly as an influential blogger. 'The Z Collection' is full of literary surprises." -- Heathcote Williams
