Miles, Barry (Burroughs, William S.; Corso, Gregory; Ginsberg, Allen)

The Beat Hotel: Ginsberg, Burroughs & Corso in Paris 1957-1963

London, England: Atlantic Press, 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Paris from 1957-1963 was a place of literary legend. From Ginsberg's writing of "Kaddish," Burroughs' experimentation with the cut-up technique and writing "Naked Lunch," to Corso's writing of "Happy Birthday Death" absolute monuments of literature were conceived of at this time in Paris and Barry Miles captures it all. The Beat Hotel is a work whose importance in the course of Beat scholarship cannot be understated, moreover, any fan of literature, scholar of the Beat Generation, or lover of history in general would be loath to go without this work on their shelves. Hardcover in unclipped dust-jacket: the First UK Edition, as stated on copyright page, first printing as indicated by number sequence thereon. Book in very fine, nearly pristine condition, with only the slightest wear at fine edges; dust-jacket in equally very fine condition, virtually as new. Very Fine / Very Fine. [Item #5058]
