Publisher's Note
Concisely told and full of fascinating detail, "The Birth of the Beat Generation" chronicles the complex relationships among maverick writers William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac and the figures who surrounded them. With a new Afterword by Robert Creeley, this second volume in the widely praised series is devoted to the founders and founding ideas of Modernism. Photos.

Industry Reviews
"Watson takes you to the bars, the crash pads, the seedy hotels where things actually happened...[and] brilliantly evokes the conditions under which art and literature were made."
