À propos de cet audio

 The Beat Generation was a revolutionary group of American writers in the late '50s and early '60s who fused an open approach to literature with a bohemian lifestyle. Immortalised through Kerouac’s On the Road and Ginsberg’s Howl, their relaxed, gritty, and candid writing continues to inspire anyone drawn to the unconventional. Chronicling the origins, adventures, and inner workings of the Beat movement, Gair brings to life iconic personalities including Ginsberg, Kerouac, and Burroughs, and examines their monumental influence upon popular culture from bebop to the Beastie Boys.©2008 Christopher Gair (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Amériques

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The special merit of Christopher Gair's supremely intelligent study is its awareness that the beats still attract attention for extra literary reasons.” (Journal of American Studies)
“For its breadth of coverage, including the international impact of the Beats, as well as for the perspicuity of its detailing, this book is both an excellent beginning point and a reference source to be returned to time and again.” (Aaron Beck, Psychiatrist)
“For Chris Gair, there remains ‘no coherent overview of the Beat Generation’, but here it is in a breeze of historical narrative. Gair tells a lively and eloquent story that is superbly deft and engaging.” (Ian F A Bell, Professor of American Studies at Keele University)
