| adam_text | Anyone who cares to understand the literary
and cultural ferment of America in the later
twentieth century must be familiar with the
writings and lives of those scruffy bohemians known as
the Beat Generation.
In this highly entertaining work, Bill Morgan, the
country s leading authority on the movement and a man
who personally knew most of the Beats, narrates the
history of these writers as primarily a social group of
friends, tracing their origins together during the World
War II years to the full blossoming of their notoriety in
the late
1950s
to their profound influence on the social
upheaval of the
1960s.
Indeed, it is impossible to com¬
prehend the sixties without first grasping the importance
of the social ripples set in motion by the Beats a decade
earlier.
Although their prose and poetry varied in style and
for the most part did not represent a genuine literary
movement, the Beats, through their words and noncon¬
formist lives, collectively posed a challenge to the staid
and complacent America of the postwar years. They
believed in free expression, opposing all censorship;
they dabbled in free love; they practiced Eastern philos¬
ophy, leading to an embrace in America of alternative
forms of spirituality; sooner than others, they watched
with dismay the increasingly heavy hand of military
and corporate culture in our national life; they embraced
the aspirations, as well as the lingo, of urbanized black
Americans. They believed in the liberating influence of
hallucinogenic drugs.
In short, the Beats were thoroughly American in
their love of individual freedom. Perhaps it should come
as no surprise that J. Edgar Hoover described them in
1960
as one of the three greatest threats to American secu¬
rity (after communism and intellectual eggheads ).
The story that Bill Morgan tells has less to do with
sociology than with social mingling. He traces the
closely knit friendships of the Beat luminaries Allen
Ginsberg, Jack
Kerouac,
William S. Burroughs, and the
small army of other names. Although
Kerouac,
author
of the much loved novel On the Road, was the most
famous of the Beat writers, it was Ginsberg, Morgan
contends, who resided at the center of the group and for
more than two decades provided it with cohesion and a
sense of direction.
The Beats were not saints. They were sexually irre¬
sponsible, undependable in marriage (the movement
could in fact fairly be described as misogynistic);
they did too many drugs and consumed too much
booze; the very quality that characterized their lives and
writings
—
a fervent belief in spontaneity
—
destroyed
some friendships. Indeed, Morgan s story begins with a
murder in New York s Riverside Park in
1944.
Bill Morgan has provided a sweeping, indispensable
story about these discontented free spirits. We watch
their peripatetic lives, their sexual misadventures, their
ambivalent response to fame. We are reminded above all
that while their personal lives may have not have been
holy, their typewriters and their lasting words very
much were.
