Celebrating the celluloid expression of the Beat spirit--arguably
the most sustained legacy in U.S. counterculture--Naked Lens is a
comprehensive study of the most significant interfaces between the
Beat writers, Beat culture, and cinema. Naked Lens features key
Beat players and their collaborators, including William Burroughs,
Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, Brion Gysin, Antony
Balch, Ron Rice, John Cassavetes, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, Klaus
Maeck, and Gus van Sant. As well as examining clearly Beat-inspired
films such as Pull My Daisy, Chappaqua, and The Flower Thief, Jack
Sargeant discusses cinema verite and performance films (Shadows and
Wholly Communion), B-movies (The Subterraneans and Roger Corman's
Bucket of Blood), and Hollywood adaptations (Heart Beat and
Barfly). The second half of the book is devoted to an extensive
analysis of the films relating to William Burroughs, from Antony
Balch's Towers Open Fire to David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch. This
book also contains the last ever interview with writer Allen
Ginsberg, recorded three months before his death in April 1997.
