Writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg are two of the most celebrated names of the Beat Generation, linked together not only by their shared sensibility, but also by a loving friendship that colored their lives and greatly influenced their writing. In Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg: The Letters, editors Bill Morgan and David Stanford shed new light on this influential friendship, presenting readers with a fascinating exchange of letters between the two authors, two-thirds of which have never been published before. Beginning in 1944 when Ginsberg was a student at Columbia, and ending right before Kerouac's untimely death in 1969, this is an unparalleled portrait of two men who led the cultural movement that defined their generation.
