The novel that launched the beat generation's literary legacy
describes the world of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Neal
Cassady. Published two months before Kerouac began ON THE ROAD, GO
is the first and most accurate chronicle of the private lives the
Beats lived before they became public figures. In lucid fictional
prose designed to capture the events, emptions and essence of his
experience, Holmes describes an individualistic post-World II New
York where crime is celebrated, writing is revered, and parties,
booze, discussions, drugs and sex punctuate life.
