This selection from the first ten years of the 'Evergreen Review gives the full flavor of the energy, savvy, excitement, and gall that characterized the magazine during the days of its publication. It also happens to bring together some of the world's best writers in one volume, in the company of their peers. 'Evergreen' was more than another literary magazine.

It was always damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. show less
