This book asserts that Jack Kerouac's 'wild form' - self-organizing narratives free of literary, grammatical, and syntactical conventions - moves within an experimental continuum across the arts to generate a Dionysian sense of writing as raw process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In Michael Hrebeniak's Action Writing: Jack Kerouac's Wild Form, we at last have a full-length study of Kerouac that does justice to the depth of his intellect and the significance of his formal innovations.\" - The Beat Review \"Michael Hrebeniak has opened up serious issues that are always overlooked - propaganda, Marcuse, Olson's Human Universe, for starters. Hrebeniak's assessment of Kerouac's work as a 'swirling meditation on memory and recirculation of events' is a beautiful portal swinging wide. A complete success. Many are waiting to read a work on Jack that will put a modern foundation under the old dharma shack.\" - Michael McClure, poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright \"Michael Hrebeniak has written an exceptional book on Jack Kerouac, a book that melds criticism, narrative, and polemic into an entirely new alloy. It's strange, alive, angry, and yet controlled... a magnificent book.\" - Robert Macfarlane, author of Mountains of the Mind \"Michael Hrebeniak's work is indeed rare. I don't know of another scholarly work that goes as far to ground Kerouac's Legend of Duluoz in such a wide and deep knowledge of world literatures.\" - Regina Weinreich, author of The Spontaneous Poetics of Jack Kerouac \"What is so exciting about Hrebeniak's book is how it places Kerouac and his work firmly within the avant-garde literary, artistic, and musical movements of the twentieth century.\" - Beat Scene\"","brand":"MP-SIL Southern Illinois Uni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534983528791,"sku":"9780809328673","price":42.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780809328673.jpg?v=1755858458","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/action-writing-9780809328673","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
