Is this the dream? To live nearly a century and sustain a serrated intellect, righteous integrity and good health? His failing eyesight has been swapped for oracular vision. He looks vaguely like a bust of Socrates, bald, white-bearded and wise — except Ferlinghetti beat his charges of corrupting the youth. Beneath pudgy glasses, his eyes are hauntingly blue and compassionate. His posture remains youthful and upright. One ear is pierced, and his socks are tropical candy-striped. He’s a responsible shopkeeper and subversive arsonist rolled into one.

uma reportagem extraordinária sobre a Beat Generation para o Washington Post.
