This book pairs close readings with a strong overview of the movement and ranges from Women’s Beat Writing to African American Beats to the canonical texts, including ‘Howl’, On the Road and Naked Lunch. A closing chapter maps post-Beat writing and the ways Beat has morphed into new, even postmodern, forms.
