Music photographer Kevin Cummins, who photographed Ginsberg in Manchester in 1979, when the poet was feted by the punk establishment in England, suggests Smith’s 1974 debut Piss Factory wouldn’t have existed without Howl. Within Howl, there is a damning of authority, yes, but it lies with a celebration of human life that would provide nutrients for the next generations.Ĭue Patti Smith, on whose work Ginsberg left an indelible mark. “Both movements rejected intellect for sensation, politics for art, and Ginsberg and Kerouac glorified a grassroots America that included supermarkets and cars as well as mountains and apple pie,” she wrote. ![]() Willis drew parallels between hippie culture – the bastard child of the Beat generation, born when the beats and the mid-60s San Francisco counterculture cross-fertilised – and folk culture. Ellen Willis, in her 1967 essay Before the Flood, wrote that Dylan’s A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, from his second album, owed much to Ginsberg’s “Biblical rhetoric and declamatory style” – but you could include much of his other work in the debt. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Prince’s Assassin series comes to its explosive conclusion in Curse of the Dark Prince, the third and final book.

A clever pastiche of news reports and interviews chronicles a college's initiative to "turn off" the human ability to recognize beauty in "Liking What You See: A Documentary." With sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty and constant change, and also by beauty and wonder. In the amazing and much-lauded title story (the basis for the 2016 movie Arrival), a grieving mother copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her knowledge of alien languages and non-linear memory recollection. Stories of Your Life and Others presents characters who must confront sudden change-the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens-while striving to maintain some sense of normalcy. Combining the precision and scientific curiosity of Kim Stanley Robinson with Lorrie Moore's cool, clear love of language and narrative intricacy, this award-winning collection offers listeners the dual delights of the very, very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar. ![]() This new edition of Ted Chiang's masterful first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, includes his first eight published stories. ![]() ![]() Sam shouldn’t even consider her proposition: to have a one-night stand in the name of research. ![]() But as his best friend’s little sister, she’s also completely off-limits.

A grimy New York book is always a winner, and here Moshfegh takes the lethargy and defeatism of twentieth century East Coast living and rolls it up into her protagonist, a nameless, monied female narrator on the cusp of George W’s America, who decides that she needs to sleep the days away instead of engaging with any sort of life at all, for at least a year. ![]() |
