Ever read Mailer's 'The White Negro'? Nailed it: from Kerouac to the 'wigger'. Written in the late 50s; far more pertinent now than Powell, and that old queen Starkey.
2Roy/ A LONG time ago...might have to reinvestigate. Can't believe Starkey! I had never come across him before - a benefit of being in Exile from the UK I guess LOL! Thanx for the Peej stuff I just grabbed btw> Regards/
