RAT: Subterranean News was published in New York City during the most intense period of the counter culture movement in 1968-69.
Because this period occurred before the internet, little original material from this critical period of American rebellion exists. Leading libraries only contain a few issues of RAT on microfilm.
Enter the RAT book project. With access to a near-complete archive of papers, editor Jeff Shero Nightbyrd is creating a project to tell the full story of RAT through an epublication with archived material from RAT and a print book. The book is chock full of stories about the people, places and events that made the RAT, the RAT. Look for stories about beat poet Allen Ginsberg, singer Janice Joplin, cartoonist R. Crumb and more.
The book and online publication are slated for release this summer.
