Drafted two months before Jack Kerouac began On The Road, Go is the first and most accurate chronicle of the private lives lived by the Beats before they became public figures. In honest, lucid fictional prose designed to capture the events, emotions, and essence of his experience among the Beats, Holmes describes an individualistic post–World War II New York where crime is celebrated, writing is revered, and parties, booze, discussions, drugs, and sex punctuate life. The most tentative and conservative of the Beats, Holmess intelligent and sensitive voice also details the pressures and regrets that his lifestyle gave birth to. With portraits of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neil Cassady, William Burroughs, this first novel about the Beat Generation gives us a peek into what it meant to be a Beat before the term had ever been used. ... still one of the best novels about the Beat Generation ... brilliant and important.—The Los Angeles Free Press I want to write to you about ... your book. You did the honest thing, the big thing, the good thing.—Jack Kerouac Go signaled the start of something new in American literature. A generation with a new consciousness had found its voice...—Ann Charters Well, folks, if you have read Burroughs or Kerouac you will probably find this somewhat illuminating as it fictionalizes the early days of the beat generation. That said, the writing varies quite a bit: from the cliche to some quite perceptive descriptions of the milieu of the Beat generation lifestyle, along with some judgmental moments that are charmingly naive. Hey, it was his first book, at age 22, so considering that alone, it is an impressive effort. However, it is tough going sometimes; just seems a bit melodramatic and overwrought. I had to work to get through it because so many things seem incredibly tame in light of the drug revolution of the 60s and todays drug crisis.

  • Dostoevsky and the Beat Generation
    MARIA BLOSHTEYN Dostoevsky and the Beat Generation American literary history is rich with heroes of counterculture, maverick writers and poets who were rejected by the bulk of their contemporaries but inspired a cult-like following among a few devotees. The phenomenon of Beat Generation writers and poets, however, is unique in twentieth-century American letters precisely because they managed to go from marginal underground classics of the 1950s to the official voice of dissent and cultural opposition of the 1960s, a force to be reckoned with. Their books were adopted by hippies and flower children, their poems chanted at sit-ins, their lives faithfully imitated by a whole generation of young baby boomers. Their antiauthoritarian ethos along with their belief in the brotherhood of mankind were the starting point of a whole movement that gave the United States such social and cultural watersheds as Woodstock and the Summer of Love, the Chicago Riots and the Marches on Washington. The suggestion that Dostoevsky had anything to do with the American Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and street rioting in American urban centres might seem at first to be far-fetched. It is, however, a powerful testimony to Dostoevsky’s profound impact on twentieth-century American literature and culture that the first Beats saw themselves as followers of Dostoevsky and established their personal and literary union (and, as it were, the entire Beat movement) on the foundation of their shared belief in the primacy of Dostoevsky and his novels. Evidence of Dostoevsky’s impact on such key writers and poets of the Beat Generation as Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997), Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), and William Burroughs (1914-1997) is found in an almost embarrassing profusion: scattered throughout their essays, related in their correspondence, broadly hinted at and sometimes explicitly indicated in their novels and poems.

  • The Beat Generation's Impact on Neal Cassady
    HON 495 English Independent Study with Dr. Joan Dean Beat to Death: The Beat Generation’s Impact on Neal Cassady The Beat Generation is one of the most influential movements in American literature. The lives of these writers are just as fascinating as their stories and poetry. The most important members and contributors were writer Jack Kerouac, poet Allen Ginsberg, and their best friend, lover, and muse Neal Cassady. These three men, as well as others along the way, would redefine the roles of men in a post-World War II America as well as create a new image for the country. Arguably, it was Cassady who was the catalyst for this movement, but he hardly wrote a word. He came to New York from Denver, where his past was fabricated and unbelievable, to have Kerouac teach him how to write. Cassady, the conman, wanted to learn from Kerouac and then from Ginsberg. He was immortalized in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road as Dean Moriarty, the rebel from Denver, who always chose adventure over responsibility. Allen Ginsberg wrote him as a “secret hero” in his most famous poem “Howl” (Ginsberg 136). Both Kerouac and Ginsberg idolized Cassady but for different reasons. Cassady himself is an enigma, his entire life story a fabrication. He grew up on the streets of Denver, stealing cars and hustling. He was also an altar boy and a father of three, and even tried his hand at writing with his unfinished autobiography The First Third. With the help of Kerouac, he managed to make his life into what would later be the embodiment of the Beat Generation.

It was Jack Kerouac who coined the expression for him and for his friends, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, Peter Orlovsky, Gary Snyder, John Clellon Holmes, William Burroughs, Philip Lamantia, et al .. "Beat" meant "beaten, defeated". In the slang of drug pushers, apparently, it also meant "duped, swindled".Later, it was associated to "beatific", the state of being symbolized by the smile of Bouddha as it is represented on some statues, the smile of one who has seen that everything was but an illusion and who has reached the stage of nirvana. Jack Kerouac was baptized Jean-Louis Kirouac, son of Léo-Alcide Kéroack and Gabrielle Levesque, in the parish of Saint-Louis-de-France, in Lowell, Mass.

    Theory in Action, Vol. 8, No. 1, January (© 2015) DOI:10.3798/tia.1937-0237.15006 Book Review: Glenn O’Brien, Ed., The Cool School: Writing from America’s Hip Underground. New York: Library Classics, 2013. ISBN: 978-1-598532562 (Hardcover). 471 Pages. $27.95. Reviewed by Tim Tomlinson1 [Article copies available for a fee from The Transformative Studies Institute. E-mail address: [email protected] Website: http://www.transformativestudies.org ©2015 by The Transformative Studies Institute. All rights reserved.] A memorable scene in Robert Stone’s National Book Award winning novel Dog Soldiers (1974) features Hollywood hustler Eddie Peace introducing the protagonist Ray Hicks to a couple of adventure-seeking squares. Adventure, in this case, is heroin, intravenously injected, which Hicks arrives on the scene to administer. “Raymond [Hicks] is the operator,” Eddie Peace tells the squares. “He's the original hip guy. The whole world is goofs to him.” In one indelible moment, Stone collapses nearly all the qualities that manifest as hip or cool or underground in Glenn O’Brien’s anthology, The Cool School: Writing from America’s Hip Underground: illicit substances (in some cool schools, the harder the hipper), hustlers, thrill seekers, danger, and, in the center of it all, a character who knows the score better than anyone and cannot be surprised. [NB: Stone’s scene does not appear in O’Brien’s anthology—I’m not complaining—but it could, especially because so many of O’Brien’s selections conjure its action, milieu, and characters.] Stone has commented that the creation of Hicks derives in part from Neal Cassady, whom Stone knew.
