Автор: Hassett Brian Название: How The Beats Begat The Pranksters, & Other Adventure Tales ISBN: 099472621X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780994726216 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 22780.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation including Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, William Burroughs and many others, continue to resonate through the world's cultures to this day, including numerous annual festivals, conferences, multiple major motion pictures and never-ending allusions in songs.
One of Jack & the Beats biggest and most direct influences was on the Merry Pranksters, and their house-band the Grateful Dead.
Pretty much all the members of the group and all the original Merry Pranksters weigh in here on the matter, giving explicit credit to, in particular, the book "On The Road" and the person of Neal Cassady as changing their lives.
The title piece includes accounts and observations by Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Robert Hunter, Paul Krassner, Ken Babbs, Dennis McNally, Robert Stone, Sterling Lord (both Kerouac & Kesey's literary agent) and Paul Foster, plus new interviews with Wavy Gravy, Mountain Girl, George Walker, Anonymous, Roy Sebern, Mary Microgram & Kesey biographer Robert Faggen.
Original Prankster George "Hardly Visible" Walker wrote both an Introduction and a colorful remembrance of his many years & Adventures with Neal Cassady - the unique American hero who drove both Kerouac's car and Kesey's bus.
Also featured in this "Lonesome Traveller"-like collection are Adventure Tales set at: - the historic Beat Shindig put on by The Beat Museum in San Francisco in 2015; - three premieres of the movie "On The Road" - in London, Toronto and New York; - the annual Lowell Celebrates Kerouac festival; - the Kesey Bus and nouveau Pranksters at Yasgur's farm during a Woodstock anniversary; - Prankster "Family Reunions" that are still blazing to this day; - a typical current Beat show at The Bitter End in New York City; - a magic moment with Phil Lesh at his Terrapin Crossroads club in San Rafael; - and lots of other electric time-travels.
The book also has 60 photographs illuminating all of these different Adventure Tales.
This is a follow-up to the author's previous book, "The Hitchhiker's Guide To Jack Kerouac" - written in the same voice and published in the same style - taking the story Furthur. "Hitchhiker's" was about the largest gathering of Beats and company ever staged - Boulder 1982 - with Ginsberg, Burroughs, Holmes, Corso, Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, George Walker, Ken Babbs, and the Grateful Dead playing three shows at Red Rocks in the middle of it.
These collected stories and essays take that Adventure into the 21st century with many of the same characters still weaving magic in the present day.Including - including author Brian Hassett, and original Merry Prankster George Walker, touring the continent performing live Kerouac & Cassady shows at festivals, museums, clubs, bookstores & libraries.
The presence of the Beats in the Pranksters has been a part of their mindset since before Neal Cassady ever pulled up unannounced and unexplained in Ken Kesey's driveway on Perry Lane in 1962. But no one has ever written about the connection until now.
To a man and a woman, the living Pranksters were eager to talk about it, and those who have sadly left us, left behind some colorful insights into the connection, and how one grew out of the other in the fertile garden of San Francisco.
The only time Kerouac ever met Kesey - which was also the last time Jack & Neal ever saw each other - was a party in Manhattan in June 1964. This book has the largest collection of firsthand accounts of that historic event ever assembled in print.
There are some Pranksterish Beat stories . . . and some Beat-infused Prankster adventures.This is those worlds merged into one - each alive in the other.
The book is both scholarly and fun. It's printed in a large font so it's easy to read. And it moves as fast as Cassady drove.

Описание: In his first novel, Tim Hassett-Salley introduces the reader to young Joe Davis who has coasted through his seemingly banal childhood as the younger brother of a loving family in a rural New England town in the early 1970's. A combination of bad choices, bad luck, and at times, a bad attitude conspire to crumble the cortex of his personality. Joe tumbles through his conflicted life seemingly oblivious to ample life lessons he could be learning. A lack of introspection throughout most of his life compounds Joe's relationship difficulties, neither healing his psyche enough to live a genuine life nor allowing him to move past the bad choices and traumatic events of his earlier years. Joe survives Vietnam, a few cycles of love lost and love found, organized religion, racism, and even the Catholic clergy sexual abuse scandal. He is focused on his future, but his past is ever present. Joe is in a race against time and fate, and time is running out.

This book is all about the hilarious capers - the craic - that take place in and around The Shamrock pub in Swindon. The main characters are a lively bunch of first and second generation Irish lads who are connected with the construction industry. You will laugh out loud at some of the antics they get up to, especially when they go on a stag weekend to Dublin, or when they get into a pickle on their way back from a coach trip to Cheltenham races.
The vicious Clancy family provide a dark thread which runs through the story, but good prevails in the end and their come-uppance provides some more mirth for the lads.
All this is flavoured with some good old fashioned love and romance.
Testimonials: "A laugh-out-loud book." M. Lewis, Guildford, U.K "Couldn't put it down." S. Mc Kelland, Wiltshire, U.K "This book drew me in so much that I felt I was right there in The Shamrock public house. The characters became so real for me. I was sad to reach the end as I felt I had made some fascinating friends." B. Coady, Tipperary, Eire.

Описание: This is the only book written about "the Woodstock of the Beats" - the historic 1982 Kerouac SuperSummit in Boulder where, as John Clellon Holmes put it, "more of us were together than had ever been together in one place at one time before." And nothing on this scale ever happened again. Featuring scenes, anecdotes and transcribed conversations with the likes of Holmes, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs, Herbert Huncke, Kens Kesey & Babbs, Michael McClure, Carolyn Cassady, Edie Kerouac, Abbie Hoffman, Paul Krassner, Al Aronowitz and many others, the book is a fast-paced storytelling adventure straight through the heart of Beatlandia. Hitchhiking tales from a 3,500 mile journey, life among the Beats, and "following your dreams to the living rooms of your heroes" are some of the happenings in this On The Road "Almost Famous" with literary rock stars - from the debauched to the brilliant. Readers will learn what the whole "Kerouac thing" is all about - why he's so popular and has lasted so long - as reflected through the eyes of myriad people from famous novelists to students, filmmakers to poets, his lovers to his critics. The book also features the most extensive exploration in print of the connection between the Beats and The Grateful Dead. No other band in history has as close a relationship to particularly Kerouac and Neal Cassady as The Grateful Dead, or who more embodied the On The Road ethos that those two personified. In fact, it was the band who largely funded this historic gathering and scheduled their summer Red Rocks shows to be a part of - to which, of course, the reader is taken. Besides all the living Beats, there is also a significant focus on Ken Kesey - including many transcribed conversations - about his relationship with Kerouac's writing, Cassady's persona, The Bus's legacy and the importance of family. Plus, there's Abbie Hoffman and Timothy Leary in major supporting roles - each with very different reactions from those in attendance. Told as a first-person Adventure Story by an enthusiastic 21-year-old show producer, the narrative is both youthful in its wide-eyed sense of discovery, while balanced with decades of scholarship and perspective. Not only was the book meticulously fact-checked, but each section was run by the person who appears in it, or their estate if they've passed. This event took place at a time when Kerouac was at such a low ebb not even "On The Road" was in most bookstores. This gathering marked the biggest turnaround in his career other than the release of his defining novel. From here on out - and with the direct help of those in attendance - there would be a steady ascension of Kerouac's standing in both the public and literary worlds. The book has been described as "funny and informative" - two words that usually don't go together. Life-long Beat readers will learn much they didn't know before - but there are a lot of scholarly works that will achieve that end. What sets this apart is it's an entertaining, page-turning, light-hearted, Prankster-rich, playful romp in the land of words and ideas. And a funny thing is - it's actually a love story. You'll see.The book is printed in a large easy-to-read font, is extremely fast-paced, and comes with a rich "Dessert" offering tributes to both those still living and those who have passed, as well as details on the five different documentaries shot at the summit. The book also features 60 photographs of the various participants and activities, and an Introduction by Neal & Carolyn Cassady's only son, John Allen Cassady (who was named after Kerouac and Ginsberg).
