Description

Fridays at Enrico's is a novel by Don Carpenter, set in Northern California and Portland during the early days of the Beat scene. The story follows four writers as they navigate youth, opportunity, and ambition, with loss of innocence being a recurring theme. Carpenter's portrayal of these individuals and the places they inhabit - San Francisco and Portland in the 1950s and early 1960s - is both nuanced and evocative. A great champion of Carpenter's work, Jonathan Lethem, has edited and developed this final draft into its current form. Jonathan Lethem provides a wonderful introduction to this book, offering insight into Carpenter's life and work, as well as the enduring influence of his writing.
