As a restless kid on Long Island Sam Kashner lapped up the beauty and madness of the Beats living vicariously through the novels poems and stories of Jack Kerouac Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs Their words were revolutionary and they turned their very lives into art Kashner didnt want to just study the Beats he wanted to be one of them So when he heard that Ginsberg had founded an unconventional writing program in Boulder Colorado he convinced his parents that college could wait and became the first certificate student of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied PoeticsIn one motion Kashner stepped out of a sheltered suburban life and plunged into the chaotic world of his idols What he discovered was both everything and not at all what he expected The Beats were facing their twilight years and feeling it in their joints and in their minds Some of them like Ginsberg and Burroughs had achieved international fame while others like Gregory Corso had not and were coming to the realization that they might never receive the recognition they deserved In his new role as student secretary and psychiatrist Sam Kashner was caught up in the hilarity of the hijinks and the cross fire of old arguments finding himself in hot tubs with Ginsberg and on field trips to the marijuana ranch cultivated by Burroughs and his illfated son BillyOut of this rich material Kashner brings us a funny touching and irreverent portrait of the Beats never before seen one that explodes the myths surrounding these American icons but one that is also deeply felt and full of admiration After reading this book youll never look at the Beats in quite the same way againWhen I Was Cool is also a very personal journey of a young man coming of age on the Beat slope of Mount Parnassus the Lower East Side of the Rockies a kind of Holden Caulfield for the postmodern era

It takes a long time to see you are a slave muses one character in Aurelie Sheehans first collection of stories lyrical sometimes bitingly funny chronicles of women breaking out of imposed roles Here are the dreams of misplaced waitresses prostitutes and other working girls the survival techniques of secretaries too smart to take orders In the title story a woman yearns to be like Jack Kerouac but is held back by a litany of rules teaching her to be a submissive girl a pansy The main character in Look at the Moon is bored to distraction by her receptionist job but is still half under the influence of a Catholic upbringing when she hooks up with a flamboyant stranger and goes on a lifealtering road trip with her In The Dove a wealthy widow who was pressured by her family to marry a rich man spends her life fixated on an affair she had a week before her wedding Women young and old rich and poor make soulthreatening sacrifices to adhere to societal or familial strictures Love is passionately evoked here as are the myths and illusions that sustain it Sheehan uses narrative elements poetically these kaleidoscopic stories subvert the linear notion of storytelling creating momentum and effect instead through ellipses layering and contrast Jack Kerouac Is Pregnant is the impressive debut of a beguiling assured writer

We had finally found the magic land at the end of the road and we never dreamed the extent of the magic Mexico an escape route inspiration and ecstatic terminus of the celebrated novel On the Road was crucial to Jack Kerouacs creative development In this dramatic and highly compelling account Jorge GarcíaRobles leading authority on the Beats in Mexico recreates both the actual events and the literary imaginings of Kerouac in what became the writers revelatory terrain Providing Kerouac an immediate spiritual freshness that contrasted with the staid society of the United States Mexico was perhaps the single most important country in his life Sourcing material from the Beat authors vast output and revealing correspondence GarcíaRobles vividly describes the milieu and people that influenced him while sojourning there and the circumstances between his myriad arrivals and departures From the writers initial euphoria upon encountering Mexico and its fascinating tableau of humanity to his tortured relationship with a Mexican prostitute who inspired his novella Tristessa this volume chronicles Kerouacs often illusory view of the country while realistically detailing the incidents and individuals that found their way into his poetry and prose In juxtaposing Kerouacs idyllic image of Mexico with his actual experiences of being extorted assaulted and harassed GarcíaRobles offers the essential Mexican perspective Finding there the spiritual nourishment he was starved for in the United States Kerouac held fast to his idealized notion of the country even as the stories he recounts were as much literary as real
