New York’s Downtown Literary Scene

The new issue of Boldtype reviews a new book about the literary avant-garde in New York City. Now, I wish Baltimore has this much going on.

Up Is Up, But So Is Down comprises short stories, essays, poetry, handwritten scribbles, and visual snippets reproduced from zines, posters, pamphlets, fliers, and literary mags” fragments that tell the tale of a wickedly creative artistic community that inhabited downtown Manhattan during the post-Beat decades of the late 20th century.
