"For half a century Grove Press has published great literature and in the process has greatly impacted American culture. Grove fought the celebrated First Amendment court battles against the censorship of D.H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, and William S. Burroughs. It published books by the Beats, indispensable texts in African-American studies, and groundbreaking works of gay literature. There were politically controversial books, risqué works of erotica, major plays by young playwrights, and the great foreign authors whose works have become essential for American readers. THE GROVE PRESS READER 1951 - 2001 is a celebratory anthology featuring the seminal writers published over the past 50 years. Along with the excerpts there is an introductory overview that recounts the history of the company, retrospective essays by Grove's key publishers and editors, and previously unpublished letters between authors and editors. A delightful and surprising anthology, THE GROVE PRESS READER commemorates a spirit of independent publishing that has flourished for 50 years." [publisher's copy] Acker. Alexie. Beckett. Borges.
