(u. S.) Jack Kerouac (u. S.) Allen Ginsberg

434K0

This book collects two hundred letters between Kerouac and Ginsberg, a representative figure of the "Beat Generation", spanning twenty years, from 1944 when Ginsberg attended Columbia University to 1969, shortly before Kerouac's death. Two-thirds of the contents are published for the first time. A vivid recreation of the cultural scene the two men helped create and filled with key insights into the heart of the Beat movement, it is a record of a deep personal friendship and a unique chronicle of the two men's mutual encouragement of spiritual exploration.
