A Lyrical Novella by a 1960's Beat Poet

This is a short novel with a lyric quality similar to a poem. As far as I know, this is Ferlinghetti's only novel since his works of poetry in the 1960's. It is a story about two lovers who meet in Paris in the 1960's amidst the student revolution. She is a true revolutionary. He's a banker but swears to be an anarchist working for the revolution on his own. The story line is thin. The love scenes are beautifully wrought - - an impressionist painting in words. "His body stirred and floated away, borne away by foreign currents, by alien gulf streams it seemed impossible to swim against, his body broke the surface and disappeared into the very heart of light, while she sank back and back, through the deep swirling waters, into the deep pearl, the final mystery . . . When she awoke, he was gone. (p. 39)
