The Beat Hotel: Ginsberg, Corso, Burroughs and others: the beat of the Paris adventure / Barry Miles ; translation of Frank Bandel Dragone - Parma: Bloomsbury Publishing, [2007] - 323 p. 22 cm. - Euro
09:00 The Beat Hotel is a hotel of the lowest category on the Rive Gauche in Paris, and was closed for more than 40 years. But since 1957, the year of publication of "Howl" until 1963, this hotel was the Paris home Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlowsky, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs. In its bare rooms and the poor have seen the light of poems like "Kaddish" and novels like "Naked Lunch," in its corridors have come and gone loves and sexual encounters of the literary stars of those years, just outside its walls are worn friendships and strange adventures in Paris, all in the name of rebellion and disorder, which was the essence of the beat.
