Rimbaud and Jim Morrison: The Rebel as Poet by Wallace Fowlie

coolkiks's review

3.25

very interesting read with some reflections about art and why we enjoy it. I’ve liked Rimbaud for quite some time now, and I found out about him because of the musicians he influenced, but I was never really into The Doors. Not for any reason, really, I just didn’t know much about them. So it was great no lean a bit more about Jim Morrison. 

I didn’t find the connection between both poets something to be amazed by, but it was still interesting pointing out. I totally would’ve gone to one of Fowlie’s lectures on the topic. He also brings many informations from different topics, which makes the book even more interesting.
