The Beat Generation
An introduction to members of the Beat Generation for Tytell came through her husband, John, whose book Naked Angels was the first major study of the literary phenomenon and its authors. Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Herbert Huncke, and John Clellon Holmes, have all been subjects of Tytell, documenting the later years of the writers and their continuing relevance to American culture.

Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or generation:
“The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne
Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them. The oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The pork sizzles and cries for fish. Luckily for the foolish race, and this particularly foolish generation of trout, the night shut down at last, not a little deepened by the dark side of Ktaadn, which, like a permanent shadow, reared itself from the eastern bank.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
