Reccomendations for these WILD writers?

[Dave Vicks]

I am curious about these "wild" writers.
Would you reccomend any of there writings?

Marquis de Sade
Jean Genet.
Alan Moore.
Allen Ginsberg.?

I only know Alan Moore through his 2000AD and Watchman comics, but he is a master story teller with a dark imagination.

Not 4 writers I would normally consider together.
Alan Moore has done loads and loads of great comics. Try Halo Jones, DR & Quinch for starters, Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen if you want something more weighty.

Ginsberg. I have read the poems Wichita Vortex Sutra, and Howl. Quite interesting.

De Sade. I read a book of his short stories. Odd but not pornographic, as one might expect from his reputation.

Genet I found quite difficult. Suggest you start with Miracle of the Rose, if you try anything, but if you want cool French writers of that period then Albert Camus or Jean Paul Sartre are more accessible.
