Description: "KEROUAC AND FRIENDS: A BEAT GENERATION ALBUM" by Fred Mcdarrah & Timothy McDarrah published by Thunder Mouth 2002. Renowned photographer Fred McDarrah captures the Beats in the midst of their rise to acclaim. His photos of Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and others partying in cheap downtown Manhattan apartments, socializing at Grove Press book parties, and hunching over their typewriters are joined by writings from a diverse and illuminating raft of sources. Jack Kerouac contributes a list of activities necessary for writing success ("1. Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for yr own joy"), Diana Trilling shares her thoughts on her fears of and for husband's former student, Allen Ginsberg, and Mad magazine sends up the young men and women who took up the beat lifestyle Kerouac and friends made famous. Kerouac and Friends is a fresh and surprising look at the young men and women who would come to define the last major epoch in American literature. "A lot of great stuff here about those Abominable Snowmen of modern poetry, the Beats."Lawrence Ferlinghetti "Not merely a marvelous nostalgia trip. It also illuminates an important period in American culture. First rate!" Softcover. This is one of the most fascinating personalities of the 20th century. A really fascinating book, highly recommended. 296 pages with works cited. Illustrated with over 250 photos many rare. The scans are of the copy we are offering not an ebay stock photo. Selling for over $50.00 in poorer condition on other sites.Note: We are selling this and other items to raise money for my brother. He lost our family home that my grandfather built around 1912. My brother did essentially volunteer work around the United States, in India, Sri Lanka, and in Japan for over 50 years. He became an ordained Buddhist monk in Japan about 30 years ago, the First American to do so in decades. He failed to save for his senior years and he is now in his 70's. He lost the family home due to an unexpected death in the family and his lack of funds to pay off the estate. Your purchase will go to aid him in this current struggle. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
