Kritik
"Stevenson's book is a major step toward re-opening the Beats to serious consideration and critical scrutiny-a necessary move ... . Anti-humanism in the Counterculture is a bold and original piece of work that deserves to make a significant impact on the way we read the Beats and how we view their legacy in the twenty-first century." (John Bolin, Journal of Modern Literature, Vol. 46 (2), 2023)mehr
