Barney Rosset of the Grove Press also published the Evergreen Review as an analogue adventure between 1957-73, presenting a host of post-war artists and writers to the reading public in an easily digestible form. Authors as diverse as William Burroughs, Allen Ginsburg, Albert Camus, LeRoi Jones, Marguerite Duras, and Alain Robbe-Grillet were given forums to express newly wrought political, social, racial, erotic, existential, and artistic views. The magazine was not a kind of "gated community" of radicalism, but a challenging immersion into First Amendment rights.
