I just saw a review in the NY Times of this book by Deborah Baker about Allen Ginsberg and his experiences in India in the 60s that shaped the whole Beat generation and the American counterculture. I haven't read it yet, but plan to. I thought some of you might like to check it out also. It sounds very interesting. It's called "A Blue Hand: The Beats in India". Penguin Press.
