Just wondering why Ginsberg, Burroughs and Kerouac dont have there own discussion threads? To me the beat generation was one of the most important eras of literature. Also no Bukowski?

Dear Friend,
I am glad you mentioned Allen Ginsberg. Actually, I am supposed to prepare a thesis on the Beat Generation. Therefore, I am asking you to do me this sort of favour. My help is to provide me with some books on the Beat Generation, and I will be very much obliged if u do. Thanks

I was just thinking -exactly- the same thing.
You can find countless information on the authors and the novels of the so-called "Beat Generation" on the web. Here are some usefull bibliography links:
Jack Kerouac: http://www.emptymirrorbooks.com/beat/kerouac.html
William Burroughs: http://realitystudio.org/bibliography/
Allen Ginsgerg: http://www.litkicks.com/Biblio/GinsbergBiblio.html
Gregory Corso: http://www.nndb.com/people/406/000115061/bibliography/
Laurence Ferlinghetti: http://www.beatmuseum.org/ferlinghet...ettiWorks.html
Gary Snyder: http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId=....8.3&brand=oac
and, though not really part of the Beat Generation:
Charles Bukowski: http://www.popsubculture.com/pop/bio..._bukowski.html
You can find a lot of info on these and other artists in The Beat Museum: http://www.beatmuseum.org/
Hope it helps.

I agree also.

Correct .... So, we have to keep this thread alive for all general discussion concerning authors of the Beat Generation.

or you can go over to the General Literature area where there have been several discussions on beat writers and if so inclined you can start your own thread.

Trivia 1:
Why do you think Jack Kerouac quit Columbia University even though he was on a full scholarship to play football there?
It's all in his Maggie Cassady novel but I'll give ya the answer too.
Trivia 2:
Who gave Ginsberg's Howl poem its title?
Trivia 3:
What does "Beat" mean? And, do we live in a 'Beat' world today?
"He was nauseous with regret when he saw her face again, and when, as of yore, he pleaded and begged at her knees for the joy of her being. She understood Neal; she stroked his hair; she knew he was mad."
---Jack Kerouac, On The Road: The Original Scroll
