She Was Wild Grass - Paperback
Details
by Katie Bennett (Author)
The Beat Generation--the postwar literary revolution that canonized Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs--has long been mythologized as a story of male genius and rebellion. But behind those iconic names were women whose lives and ambitions were swallowed by the legend. When writer Katie Bennett stumbled across Joan Vollmer, the fascinating woman who shared her life with William S. Burroughs before he shot and killed her in 1951, she couldn't let her go.
In this groundbreaking hybrid memoir, Bennett braids her own artistic coming-of-age with Vollmer's haunting story--exploring what it costs a woman to reach for a creative life, and what gets lost when her story is told only through someone else's. Intimate and unflinching, She Was Wild Grass brings Vollmer out from the shadows while charting the risks and revelations of Bennett's own search for an artistic path.
