Synopsis
The Holy Barbarians is a book written by Lawrence Lipton that explores the Beat Generation of the 1950s. The book focuses on the lives of the poets, artists, and musicians who were part of this movement, including Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Neal Cassady. Lipton provides a detailed account of their unconventional lifestyles and the impact they had on American culture. He also examines the social and political context in which the Beat Generation emerged, including the Cold War and the rise of consumerism. The Holy Barbarians is considered a seminal work on the Beat Generation and has been praised for its vivid portrayal of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
