| Sommario/riassunto: | Reopening the canons of the Beat Generation, Whaley traces the creative counterculture movement as it cooked in the heat of Bay Area streets and exploded into spectacles, such as the scandal of the Howl trial and beatnik caricatures. The book breaks new ground in showing how jazz shaped the very structures of Beat art and social life. |
