THE BEAT GENERATION - KOSTAS MYRSIADES KARTONIE...

It has been fifty years since the Beats first came upon the literary scene and although the
academy's hostility toward the Beats has not completely abated  it has certainly diminished.
Today mainstream publishers are adding many Beat titles to their lists  and students of Beat
literature can draw upon a wealth of critical resources that have been published in the last
twenty years. The fourteen critical essays gathered in this collection verify that Jack Kerouac
is still the undisputed king of the Beats followed by William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.
At the same time  however  the Beat movement is shown to be broader and more far reaching than
previously thought  encompassing names such as Oscar Zeta Acosta and William Kotzwinkle and
even suggesting influences on contemporary German literature in authors like Wolf Wondratschek
Rolf Dieter Brinkman  and Jörg Fauser.
