The Beat Generation and the Popular Novel in the United States, 1945-1970
Happy to discover this book:
"It was trying to look at the world in a new light, trying to look at the world in a way that gave it some meaning. Trying to find values . . . that were valid. And it was through literature that all this was supposed to be done." [Lucien Carr] In attempting to give the world "some meaning," the Beats inhabited a religious world of their own construction. (p. 129).
My interest lies in Kerouac, and I especially like this passage, "Kerouac sacrificed himself to his writing, allowing his identity as an artist to subsume his entire being . . ." and relates Jack's new calling, where "flesh became spirit." (p. 128).
