Go was originally published in 1952 and is the first and most accurate chronicle of the private lives the Beats lived before they became public figures. Includes portraits of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and Neil Cassady. In fictional prose, Holmes describes his experience in an individualistic post-World-war II New York where crime is celebrated, writing is revered, and parties, booze, discussions, drugs and sex punctuate life.
