The beatnik was born in Venice, California, in the 1950s. An imaginary figure in many respects - the invention of both the media and the people who played the beatnik role - the character quickly assumed nearly mythic proportions. In this fascinating book, John Arthur Maynard tells the story of the poets and promoters who invented the Beat Generation and who, in many cases, destroyed themselves in the process.
