'The Beat Generation Map of America'
A richly populated pictorial map of Beat America, combining a schematic map of the United States with inset street plans of New York City, San Francisco, Berkeley and Los Angeles. Numbered locations trace the lives and haunts of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Neal Cassady, Diane di Prima and their circle. Stan Grant surrounds the geography with a theatrical gathering: Kerouac reads aloud, jazz musicians Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk perform, and Beat writers and artists listen, drink, argue and paint. Issued by Aaron Blake in 1987, the map turns a literary movement into a lively visual history of post-war American counterculture.
