American Scream: Allen Ginsberg's Howl and the Making of the Beat Generation
Jonah Raskin
Written as a cultural weapon and a call to arms, Howl touched a raw nerve in Cold War America and has been controversial from the day it was first read aloud nearly fifty years ago. This study of Howl elucidates the nexus of politics and literature in which it was written and gives portraits of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs.
