About this listen
What the critics say
“The special merit of Christopher Gair's supremely intelligent study is its awareness that the beats still attract attention for extra literary reasons.” (Journal of American Studies)
“For its breadth of coverage, including the international impact of the Beats, as well as for the perspicuity of its detailing, this book is both an excellent beginning point and a reference source to be returned to time and again.” (Aaron Beck, Psychiatrist)
“For Chris Gair, there remains ‘no coherent overview of the Beat Generation’, but here it is in a breeze of historical narrative. Gair tells a lively and eloquent story that is superbly deft and engaging.” (Ian F A Bell, Professor of American Studies at Keele University)
