Mile Marker Zero: The Moveable Feast of Key West

William McKeen

4.9/5 (19602 ratings)

Description:True tales of writers and pirates, painters and potheads, guitar pickers and drug merchants in America’s southernmost city. For Hemingway and Fitzgerald, there was Paris in the twenties. For others, later, there was Greenwich Village, Big Sur, and Woodstock. But for an even later generation—one defined by the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Tom McGuane, and Hunter S. Thompson—there was another moveable feast: KeyWest, Florida.The small town on the two-by-four-mile island has long been an artistic haven, a wild refuge for people of all persuasions, and the inspirational home for a league of great American writers. Some of the artists went there to be literary he-men. Some went to re-create themselves. Others just went to disappear—and succeeded. No matter what inspired the trip, Key West in the seventies was the right place at the right time, where and when an astonishing collection of artists wove a web of creative inspiration.Mile Marker Zero tells the story of how these writers and artists found their identities in Key West and maintained their friendships over the decades, despite oceans of booze and boatloads of pot, through serial marriages and sexual escapades, in that dangerous paradise.Unlike the “Lost Generation” of Paris in the twenties, we have a generation that invented, reinvented, and found itself at the unending cocktail party at the end—and the beginning—of America’s highway.The taco manIsland of bonesThe templateA different societyMcGuaneThe boysNowhere to hideThe failureThis republic of oursSquare grouperA year of living dangerouslyMargaritavilleThe king of gonzoBum Farto and Ping-PingRedemptionEvacuationDon't stop the carnivalWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
