Barney Rosset, editor
Evergreen Review Reader
1967–1973

"Anguish, spontaneity, intuition." — Newsweek

From its first issue to its last, Evergreen Review was hailed as one of the most provocative magazines ever. Now, for the first time, the magazine's final years will be anthologized.

[Book Cover]Evergreen Review was the bible for a generation of radicals and free thinkers. It championed Beckett and Brautigan, erotica and activism with an in-your-face attitude that confronted and challenged the conventions of the day.

Barney Rosset, the founder, publisher, and editor of Evergreen Review, catapulted Evergreen to the forefront. He brought together within its pages some of the most adventurous writers, illustrators, and photographers of the time.

Included are an Ezra Pound interview by Allen Ginsberg on anti-Semitism; Che Guevara's Bolivian campaign diary; short fiction by William Burroughs, Samuel Beckett, and Kenzaburo Oë; as well as essays and criticism by Evergreen's cadre of regulars: Jack Newfield, Dotson Rader, John Lahr, Susan Sontag, and many more.

Barney Rosset served as editor and publisher during the entire history of Evergreen Review. Rosset was also the publisher of Grove Press for more than thirty years.
