Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For many years Newport, Oregon, has been a secluded little hive of wild honey, a place where creative artists, fishermen and loggers shared a lovely seaport town. Ed Cameron, a lifelong student of the Beats and alternative culture,.moved north from California in the days when the shabby old Gilmore hotel was at the center of it all. He knows everyone and more secrets than he can tell, and he himself occupied the favored little room-with-view that is now named for "Colette" in the Sylvia Beach's pantheon of world authors.
This "graphic novel" is a joy of recollection, a loving portrait of the place and times when cold salt air and warm friendships became a rich and swirling petri dish of creative culture. Cameron's self-deprecating inclusion of himself as the baldheaded "Patch" and "Balzac" dates back to his widely-loved cartoons of twenty and thirty years ago. He is an artist who gives generously of himself. I was lucky to be there looking in and now to have this book in my hands.
