Stomping the Goyim (Green Integer, 116)

the long version

This hilarious fiction, originally published in 1969, is the revolutionary work William Burroughs called "a brilliant novel which also has the virtue of being highly readable from beginning to end." Rich in attitude and language, it is an hallucinatory portrait of the sexually rebellious psychedelic scene of the late 1960s. A spaced-out Jewish kid from Newark faces his draft board and illuminates his entire generation. Critic and author Seymour Krim called it "... an important book ... I would say *Stomping the Goyim* is the most significant book of the historically unique Lower East Side." (from the back cover of the 2002 edition)
