The Beat Hotel: Ginsberg, Burroughs, and Corso in Paris, 1958-1963
New York Grove Press 2000 080211668X / 9780802116680 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Very Good
Cloth, 294 pp., illus., biblio.; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First Edition." Dust jacket, with creased back flap, protected in a mylar book cover. "The Beat Hotel has been closed for nearly forty years. But for a brief period - from just after the publication of Howl in 1957 until the building was sold in 1963 - it was home to Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Brion Gysin, Peter Orlovsky, Harold Norse, and a host of other luminaries of the Beat Generation. Now, Barry Miles - acclaimed author of many books on the Beats and a personal acquaintance of many of them - vividly excavates this remarkable period and restores it to a historical picture that has, until now, been skewed in favor of the two coasts of America. A cheap rooming house on the bohemian Left Bank, the hotel was inhabited mostly by writers and artists, and its communal atmosphere spurred the Beats to incredible heights of creativity. Its inhabitants followed the Howl obscenity trial, and they corresponded with Jack Kerouac as On the Road was taking off. There Ginsberg wrote 'Kaddish,' 'To Aunt Rose,' 'At Apollinaire's Grave,' and 'The Lion for Real,' and Corso developed the mature voice of The Happy Birthday of Death. The Beat Hotel is where the Cut-up method was invented, and where Burroughs finished and published Naked Lunch and the Cut-up novels. From a party where Ginsberg and Corso drunkenly accosted Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, to an awestruck audience with Louis-Ferdinand Céline a year before he died; from a drug-addled party on a houseboat on the Seine with Errol Flynn and John Huston, to Burroughs's near arrest as a heroin dealer: mischief, inspiration, and madness followed the Beats wherever they went. Based on firsthand accounts from diaries, letters, and many original interviews, The Beat Hotel is an intimate look at a crucial period for some of the twentieth century’s most enduring and daring writers. / In addition to The Beat Hotel and Zappa, Barry Miles's other works include William Burroughs: El Hombre Invisible, Allen Ginsberg: A Biography, and Jack Kerouac: King of the Beats, as well as Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now. He has been involved in Beat literature for over thirty years. Barry Miles currently lives in France with his wife and son." - Publisher.
