Gregory Corso's Funny Forgeries

Gregory Corso's Funny Forgeries15 Apr27 min

Ah, the hi-jinks of Gregory Corso! This New York Tale has everything: stealing from friends, mob bosses, broken record collections, Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs (sort of), and what must have been the great charm of the Beat poet Gregory Corso. All of this leads to some (semi-) profound questions on authenticity in the book world.

If you have a Corso tale, we'd love to hear it! Drop us a note at: hello@rarebookchat.com

Enjoy the show!
