The Portable Beat Reader

Beginning in the late 1940's, American literature discovered a four-letter word, and the word was "beat." This book collects the significant writings of the fellow members of the Beat Generation. In poetry, fiction, essays, and memoirs, it captures the triumphant rudeness, energy, and exhilaration of a movement that swept through American letters.

Incepand cu sfarsitul anilor 1940, literatura americana a descoperit un cuvant din patru litere, iar cuvantul a fost ,,batai". Aceasta carte aduna scrierile semnificative ale colegilor membri ai Beat Generation. In poezie, fictiune, eseuri si memorii, surprinde grosolania triumfatoare, energia si entuziasmul unei miscari care a maturat literele americane.
