An interview by Charles Ruas with Ed Sanders, the author of Tales of Beatnik Glory, originally broadcast in 1975 on WBAI-FM. Owner of the Peace Eye bookstore, publisher of the legendary Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts, and founding member of The Fugs, Sanders was a central figure and originator on the beatnik-hippie scene. Tales of Beatnik Glory is a history lesson, activist primer, and an innovative hybrid of both prose and poetry and fiction and memoir.
