Outlaw lit

The cover of The Outlaw Bible of American Literature (810.8 Ou86) isn't very exciting, so I didn't scan it. But the content sizzles. Just think, all crammed into one fat volume are excerpts from the likes of:

How to Talk Dirty and Influence People by Lenny Bruce
The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda
Live From Death Row by Mumia Abu-Jamal
Sister of the Road by Boxcar Bertha
American Splendor Anthology by Harvey Pekar
The Doggfather by Snoop Dogg
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas
Soul on Ice by Eldridge Cleaver
The Woman Rebel by Margaret Sanger

Shockingly, NOT included. But you will find Carolyn and Neal Cassady, Ken Kesey, DMX, Bob Dylan, Emma Goldman, Dick Gregory, Timothy Leary, Tupac Shakur, and other likely suspects.
