Description

A blow-by-blow unearthing of the places where the Beat writers first came to full bloom: the flat where Ginsberg wrote "Howl;" Gary Snyder's zen cottage in Berkeley; the ghostly railroad yards where Kerouac and -Cassady toiled; the pads where Jack & Neal & Carolyn lived; Ferlinghetti's favorite haunts.

This meticulous guide also brings to light never-before-heard stories about Corso, Bob Kaufman, DiPrima, Kyger, Lamantia and other West Coast Beats.

A entertaining read as well as a practical walking (and driving) tour that covers the entire Bay Area.

With an introduction by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Bill Morgan is a painter and archival consultant working in New York City.

He is the author of The Beat Generation in New York: A Walking Tour of Jack Kerouac's City.
