This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empty Phantoms: Collected Interviews with Jack Kerouac gathers together, for the first time in one volume, all known printed, recorded, and filmed interviews-including those celebrated, infamous, or obscure-with the acclaimed American writer and father of the Beats, Jack Kerouac. Editor Paul Maher, one of the leaders of Kerouac scholarship, has scoured newspapers to glean interviews unseen for decades.Although many top-notch journalists, from Mike Wallace to William F. Buckley, conducted the interviews, it is Kerouac who dominates the proceedings, with his energy, wit, passion, anger, astute insights, playfulness, literary integrity, and searching spirituality. Best of all, the interviews are replete with Kerouacisms like "walking on water wasn't built in a day, wisdom is heartless," and "pity dogs and forgive men," which have been a cherished aspect of Kerouac's literature.Beyond his own works, this living portrait of Kerouac isn't available anywhere else.This new addition has been published with added material. 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerouac scholar, Paul Maher jr. (Kerouac: His Life and Work; Empty Phantoms: Interviews and Encounters with Jack Kerouac; Tom Waits on Tom Waits) details the last years of Jack Kerouac during the 1960s. Using Kerouac's published books and unpublished diaries and journals, Drunken Dumbshow details the year-by-year disintegration of Kerouac during the tumultuous 1960s, and how that decade of ferment affected his life and writing. Here's what others have written about Maher's books on Kerouac:EMPTY PHANTOMS: Interviews & Encounters with Jack Kerouac (Thunder's Mouth Press Trade Paperback, 2005)"This is definitely a book for Beat Generation junkies. Practically every printed, recorded, and filmed interview with Kerouac is collected in this 505-page book.'" --San Diego Tribune"Empty Phantoms is the best thing yet produced. It's as if Maher allows us to see Kerouac in the midst of a long battle, during which he never fights back, yet each sling and arrow helps reveal his peculiar genius." --Jim Christy, Toronto Star, and author of THE LONG SLOW DEATH OF JACK KEROUAC"In reading this book my image of Kerouac began to change from phony to idol." --New York Press"The recent publication of EMPTY PHANTOMS: Interviews & Encounters with Jack Kerouac, a hefty volume edited by Paul Maher, Jr., offers an opportunity not only to reflect on whether the author interview constitutes an actual genre of literary performance but also to experience immersion in a single writer's oral tradition. . . . Interviewers, who had previously been mere ink-stained wretches, were now often well-known authors or journalists.." --Albert Mobilio, BookforumKEROUAC: THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY (Taylor Trade Hardcover, 2005; Taylor Trade Paperback, 2007)Selected by Biography magazine and Vanity Fair for their "Hot Lists"Finalist for Foreword Magazine's Biography of the Year Award"[A] thoroughly researched and worthy biography. . . . Kerouac is an engaging mix of anecdote and archive.Tales of ecstasy and and despair, of drugs and drunkenness and poetry, are counterbalanced by Maher's perceptive commentary and criticism. Kerouac himself comes over as a confused romantic perpetually in danger of self-destruction, a man driven by the twin demons of wanderlust." --Times Literary Supplement"Kerouac research was for decades limited because his personal journals were unavailable to scholars. That has all changed now that the New York Public Library holds the Kerouac archive, which forms the basis of Maher's work. . . . A useful piece in a difficult puzzle [that] sheds new light on a writer of considerable interest." --Library Journal"Unique among Kerouac biographers for his prodigious archival research, Paul Maher Jr. tells a magnificent American story of a small-town boy who read books, created himself as a writer, and destroyed himself. Spot-check Maher for his rigorously chronological documentation, or, better, seat yourself for the whole inspiring, infuriating, appalling story which the ruthlessly non-judgmental Maher unscrolls (taking his hint from Kerouac's famous roll of paper)--a long panorama of squalid literary settings thickly peopled by a gaudy, self-indulgent, yet profoundly literary generation and by a bewildered set of powerful editors, reviewers, and publishers." --Hershel Parker, Pulitzer Prize Finalist and author of HERMAN MELVILLE: A Biography"Mixing sheer detail with a sympathetic eye to Kerouac's foibles, Maher gives his subject's final years a tragic humanity. His biography breaks new ground. Maher largely achieves an ambitious goal: he brings Kerouac to life as a fascinating but fallible man and artist who reflected and shaped his times. Like the many roads Kerouac traveled, it's a worthy trip." --Boston Herald and New York Daily News"In this methodical extensive biography the gory details of Kerouac's life stack up." --Gerald Dawe, Irish Times

Book excerpt: Tom Waits may just be what the Daily Telegraph calls him: ‘the greatest entertainer on Planet Earth.’ He is also a shape-shifter who, over a span of almost four decades, has restlessly transformed his song-writing and persona not to suit the times but his own whims. Along with Bob Dylan, he stands as one of American music’s last great mysteries. Hundreds of journalists have sought to crack the Waits code, but few have come close to piercing the myths that shroud him. Tom Waits on Tom Waits is a selection of over fifty of his most intriguing interviews, the majority of which have never been collected in book form before. In each Waits shares something truly unique, delivering prose as crafted, poetic, potent and haunting as his best lyrics. Taken together they present a de facto autobiography of a notoriously guarded artist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breathing and its rhythms—liminal, syncopal, and usually inconspicuous—have become a core poetic compositional principle in modern literature. Examining moments when breath's punctuations, cessations, inhalations, or exhalations operate at the limits of meaningful speech, Stefanie Heine explores how literary texts reflect their own mediality, production, and reception in alluding to and incorporating pneumatic rhythms, respiratory sound, and silent pauses. Through close readings of works by a series of pairs—Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg; Robert Musil and Virginia Woolf; Samuel Beckett and Sylvia Plath; and Paul Celan and Herta Müller—Poetics of Breathing suggests that each offers a different conception of literary or poetic breath as a precondition of writing. Presenting a challenge to historical and contemporary discourses that tie breath to the transcendent and the natural, Heine traces a decoupling of breath from its traditional association with life, and asks what literature might lie beyond.

Book excerpt: Jack Kerouac: Collected Interviews with Jack Kerouac gathers together, in one volume, all known printed, recorded, and filmed interviews--including those celebrated, infamous, or obscure--with the acclaimed American writer and father of the Beats, Jack Kerouac.In many instances, the interviews are transcribed from original tapes and are either unabridged, like the famous "Paris Review" interview in which the journal was excised for space constraints, or unexpurgated, such as in the infamous Northport Library interview, which had been edited to avoid issues of libel and charges of anti-Semitism. Editor Paul Maher, one of the leading young lions of Kerouac scholarship, has scoured newspapers to glean interviews unseen for decades.Although many top-notch journalists, from Mike Wallace to William F. Buckley, conducted the interviews, it is Kerouac who dominates the proceedings, with his energy, wit, passion, anger, astute insights, playfulness, literary integrity, and searching spirituality.

Book excerpt: Readers and acolytes of the vital early 1950s-mid 1960s writers known as the Beat Generation tend to be familiar with the prose and poetry by the seminal authors of this period: Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Diane Di Prima, and many others. Yet all of these authors, as well as other less well-known Beat figures, also wrote plays-and these, together with their countercultural approaches to what could or should happen in the theatre-shaped the dramatic experiments of the playwrights who came after them, from Sam Shepard to Maria Irene Fornes, to the many vanguard performance artists of the seventies. This volume, the first of its kind, gathers essays about the exciting work in drama and performance by and about the Beat Generation, ranging from the well-known Beat figures such as Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs, to the "Afro-Beats†? - LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Bob Kaufman, and others. It offers original studies of the women Beats - Di Prima, Bunny Lang - as well as groups like the Living Theater who in this era first challenged the literal and physical boundaries of the performance space itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary 1951 scroll draft of On the Road, published word for word as Kerouac originally composed it Though Jack Kerouac began thinking about the novel that was to become On the Road as early as 1947, it was not until three weeks in April 1951, in an apartment on West Twentieth Street in Manhattan, that he wrote the first full draft that was satisfactory to him. Typed out as one long, single-spaced paragraph on eight long sheets of tracing paper that he later taped together to form a 120 foot scroll, this document is among the most significant, celebrated, and provocative artifacts in contemporary American literary history. It represents the first full expression of Kerouac’s revolutionary aesthetic, the identifiable point at which his thematic vision and narrative voice came together in a sustained burst of creative energy. It was also part of a wider vital experimentation in the American literary, musical, and visual arts in the post-World War II period. It was not until more than six years later, and several new drafts, that Viking published, in 1957, the novel known to us today. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of On the Road, Viking will publish the 1951 scroll in a standard book format. The differences between the two versions are principally ones of significant detail and altered emphasis. The scroll is slightly longer and has a heightened linguistic virtuosity and a more sexually frenetic tone. It also uses the real names of Kerouac’s friends instead of the fictional names he later invented for them. The transcription of the scroll was done by Howard Cunnell who, along with Joshua Kupetz, George Mouratidis, and Penny Vlagopoulos, provides a critical introduction that explains the fascinating compositional and publication history of On the Road and anchors the text in its historical, political, and social context.

Book excerpt: '[This] survey of the many little magazines carrying the Beat message is impressive in its coverage, drawing attention to the importance of their paratextual content in providing valuable socio-political context. [...] The collection contains a range of insightful close readings, astute contextualizing, and inventive lateral pedagogical thinking, charting the transformation of the Beat scene from its free-wheeling, self-help, heady revolutionary 1960’s days to its contemporary position as an increasingly respectable component of the curriculum. [...] The Beats: A Teaching Companion is successful on a number of levels; it is a noteworthy contribution to the ever expanding field of Beat studies and, more broadly, cultural studies; and it is a collection that at its best gives hope that in referring to its ideas the inspired teacher may still be able to enlarge the lives of their students.'

Book excerpt: This open access book presents five different approaches to reading breath in literature, in response to texts from a range of historical, geographical and cultural environments. Breath, for all its ubiquity in literary texts, has received little attention as a transhistorical literary device. Drawing together scholars of Medieval Romance, Early Modern Drama, Fin de Siècle Aesthetics, American Poetics and the Postcolonial Novel, this book offers the first transhistorical study of breath in literature. At the same time, it shows how the study of breath in literature can contribute to recent developments in the Medical Humanities.

Book excerpt: Miles on Miles collects the thirty most vital Miles Davis interviews. Essential reading for anyone who wants to know what Miles Davis thought about his music, life, and philosophy, Miles on Miles reveals the jazz icon as a complex and contradictory man, secretive at times but extraordinarily revealing at others. Miles was not only a musical genius, but an enigma, and nowhere else was he so compelling, exasperating, and entertaining as in his interviews, which vary from polite to outrageous, from straight-ahead to contrarian. Even his autobiography lacks the immediacy of the dialogues collected here. Many were conducted by leading journalists like Leonard Feather, Stephen Davis, Ben Sidran, Mike Zwerin, and Nat Hentoff. Others have never before seen print, are newly transcribed from radio and television shows, or appeared in long-forgotten magazines. Since Miles Davis's 1991 death, his influence has continued to grow. But until now, no book has brought back to life his inimitable voice--contemplative, defiant, elegant, uncompromising, and humorous. Miles on Miles will long remain the definitive source for anyone wanting to really encounter the legend in print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of Beat spirituality--seen through excerpts from the writings of the seminal writers of Beat Generation themselves. It’s been said that Jack Kerouac made it cool to be a thinking person seeking a spiritual experience. And there is no doubt that the writers he knew and inspired—iconic figures like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Gary Snyder, and Michael McClure—were thinkers seeking exactly that. In this re-claiming of their vision, Robert Inchausti explores the Beat canon to reveal that the movement was at heart a spiritual one. It goes deeper than the Buddhism with which many of the key figures became identified. It’s about their shared perception of an existence in which the Divine reveals itself in the ordinary. Theirs is a spirituality where real life triumphs over airy ideals and personal authenticity becomes both the content and the vehicle for a kind of refurbished American Transcendentalism.
