Book Synopsis

This is an insider''s history of the Beat movement and its personalities through the personal photographs of one of its principal figures: Allen Ginsberg (19261997).

His subjects include Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady, Robert Frank, Paul Bowles, Timothy Leary and dozens of other writers, painters and friends as well as several revealing self-portraits. Beneath each photograph are Ginsberg''s handwritten reminiscences of the circumstances, people and places relating to the photograph.
