    About this ebook

    The first collection of letters between the two leading figures of the Beat movement

    Writers and cultural icons Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg are the most celebrated names of the Beat Generation, linked together not only by their shared artistic sensibility but also by a deep and abiding friend­ship, one that colored their lives and greatly influenced their writing. Editors Bill Morgan and David Stanford shed new light on this intimate and influential friendship in this fascinating exchange of letters between Kerouac and Ginsberg, two thirds of which have never been published before. Commencing in 1944 while Ginsberg was a student at Columbia University and continuing until shortly before Kerouac's death in 1969, the two hundred letters included in this book provide astonishing insight into their lives and their writing. While not always in agreement, Ginsberg and Kerouac inspired each other spiritually and creatively, and their letters became a vital workshop for their art. Vivid, engaging, and enthralling, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg: The Letters provides an unparalleled portrait of the two men who led the cultural and artistic movement that defined their generation.

      Inspirational throughout, when they talk about art and writing and all the various philosophies of writing, publishing, etc. It was really fascinating to see the behind the scenes between these great minds, and what they thought about everyone else within their immediate sphere and the related gossip/slander/true opinions. William Gaddis is even mentioned at one point, but just for a sentence, as he used to hang out with them, but wasn't one of them. There are somewhat heavy criticisms of Mailer and Baldwin, but otherwise, it's a "fuck you, Jean," [to Kerouac], "I love you" thing. The most mundane parts were the dealings with the publishing houses and editors, etc., and how long it took them to publish masterpieces that they had worked on and finished a long time before.
