Don't miss out on Carnaby's thrilling new read for the modern beatnik, in which she provides a wild, unrestrained account of '60s counterculture youth bursting out of their creative shells. Influenced by the works of Beat writers and poets, the story takes place during 1960 and chronicles a group of bohemian twenty-somethings who defy the "ideals" of a mid-twentieth century society to seek creative fulfillment. More than anything, the author's spontaneous narrative and equally as impulsive characters brilliantly reflect the rebellious nature of art.

"What's different about this book is its stylistic approach,"  the author expressed in a recent statement. "I like to consider it offbeat, avant garde. The plot wasn't written in a traditional manner, but rather in a spontaneous burst over a short period. If you take a liking to the authors of the Beat movement, you'll enjoy Bohemia."

The book includes a cover quote from notable jazz musician and composer, Archie Shepp.

Jack Kerouac’s On the Road was the first that truly peeled me eyes to the craft of storytelling. That’s not to say that others I’d read weren’t just as great, but after reading Kerouac’s best, it helped me see all the other works in a different light.
