Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. American Hipster: The Life of Herbert Huncke, The Times Square Hustler Who Inspired the Beat Movement tells the tale of a New York sex worker and heroin addict whose unrepentant deviance caught the imagination of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs. Teetering between exhaustion and existential despair, Huncke (rhymes with junky) often said, Im beat, man. His line gave Kerouac the label for a down-at-the-heels generation seeking spiritual sustenance as well as kicks in post-war America.Recognizable portraits of Huncke appear in Junky (1953), Burroughs's acerbic account of his own heroin addiction; Howl (1956), the long, sexually explicit poem that launched Ginsbergs career; and On the Road (1957), Kerouacs best-selling novel that immortalized the Beat Generation. But it wasnt just Huncke the character that fascinated these writers: they loved his stories. Kerouac called him a genius of a storyteller and a perfect writer. His famous friends helped Huncke find publishers for his stories.Biographies of Kerouac and the others pay glancing tribute to Hunckes role in shaping the Beat Movement, yet no one until now has told his entire life story. American Hipster explores Hunckes youthful escapades in Chicago; his complicated alliances with the Beat writers and with sex researcher Alfred Kinsey; and his adventures on the road, at sea, and in prison. It also covers his tumultuous relationship with his partner Louis Cartwright, whose 1994 murder remains unsolved, and his idiosyncratic career as an author and pop-culture icon.Written by Hilary Holladay, a professor of American literature, the book offers a new way of looking at the whole Beat Movement. It draws on Holladays interviews with Huncke's friends and associates, including representatives of the literary estates of Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and Huncke; her examination of Hunckes unpublished correspondence and journals at Columbia University; and her longtime study of the Beat Movement.
