From William S. Burroughs to DMX, Patti Smith to Boxcar Bertha, The Outlaw Bible of American Literature is a volcanic eruption of language in the voices of revolutionaries and hoboes, boxers and gangsters, poets and dope fiends, rock legends, hopeless dreamers, madmen, and heroes.

Like it's highly acclaimed companion and predecessor, The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, The Outlaw Bible of American Literature is a primer for generational revolt ad an enduring document of the visionary tradition of authenticity and nonconformity in American Literature. A raucous cauldron of rebellion and Otherness. A ledger of the streets. A vein to be mined. A catalog of woe and serenity prayer.
