A senior writer for People magazine offers a remarkable group portrait of incredible figures who congregated during the 1950s and '60s in Tangiers. In this mesmerizing account, Green explores decadent Tangiers as the source of inspiration and madness for such remarkable writers as Truman Capote, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg, and Tennessee Williams, and explains its hold as a deliciously depraved version of Eden. 16-page photo insert.
