Interviews and insights from the mind of a beat master,
By
This review is from: Safe in Heaven Dead (Hanuman Book No. 42) (Paperback)
Collected by Michael White, this pocket-sized collection of interview excerpts gleaned from sources dating between 1957 and 1986 sheds ample light on Kerouac's meaning and motivation. Printed in India, the low-production book feels like a samizdat missive from Mao, and readers get plenty of first-person accounts of Kerouac's family history, the mysticism inherent in the Beats, politics and the counterculture, great writers, Kerouac's writing process, jazz, and Buddhism. Sure, much -- if not most -- of this is available in other, longer, more in-depth sources, but for a quick, breezy read -- and one you can pocket for portability -- you can't beat this, the 42nd title in the Hanuman series.
