Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg: The Letters

For anyone interested in the Beats, this correspondance between the two greatest geniuses, form the time they were young an unknown is unfiltered and thus uniquely revelatory and inspiring.

I bought this for a christmas present and the person it was bought for said that it is great. Great for a kerouac lover

If you're a JK fan. It sheds a lot of light on AG's crush on JK and how JK seemed to thrive on that.

Kerouac often used his letters to transform his real life into fiction. If you’re a fan, this is a deep look into his creative perception. The same goes for Allen Ginsberg. These volume collects the long-time correspondence of two of our best PostWar writers. They created the Beat Movement and influenced the 1960s counterculture. A fascinating look at a very different America.

I believe the new book I ordered was replaced with a 'gently used' version. The book had a bent cover and had a stain on the top of the pages. I don't call that NEW. Was disappointed in the seller.

A very enjoyable read.

Good condition!!!

great source for understanding these two great writers!

It's a well-edited and interesting collection of interviews between two important Beat authors.

Muy recomendable, las cartas no tienen desperdicio, sus opiniones y sus descripciones de otros amigos como Lucien Carr son lo mejor

Bien sur, les correspondances de Jack Kerouac et d'Allen Ginsberg ont été publié par le passé, mais cet ouvrage permet de se concentré sur les lettres qu se sont échangés le romancier et le poète. Dès lors, le lecteur comprend mieux ce qui a unie et divisé Kerouac et Ginsberg. A la lumière du recueil, on se rend mieux compte de l'égotisme de Ginsberg. Finalement, les deux écrivains n’avaient pas le même regard sur la littérature et la célébrité.
