Evergreen Review




Its Eclecticism can be seen in the issue from March-April 1960, which included work by Albert Camus , Lawrence Ferlinghetti , Bertolt Brecht , and LeRoi Jones , as well as Edward Albee 's first play, '' The Zoo Story ''. The Camus piece was a reprint of "Reflections on the Guillotine" twice, first published in English in the ''Review'' in 1957, and reprinted on this occasion as their "contribution to the world-wide debate on the problem of Capital Punishment and, more specifically, the case of Caryl Whittier Chessman ".

Although primary a literary magazine, ''Evergreen Review'' always contained numerous illustrations. In its early years, these were generally artistic; they also included a small number of Cartoon s. By the mid-1960s, a lot of the illustrations were photographs or an Erotic —arguably of a Pornographic — nature. The magazine also ran Michael O'Donoghue 's famous comic "Phoebe Zeitgeist."
