Huncke

Résumé du livre

Based on an real tribute to the beat writer Herbert Huncke in New York in January 2009, Rick Mullin delves into the heart of american conciousness and meditates on its destiny. Spinning from the remembrances at memorial reading for Herbert Huncke, the 12-canto epic, written in ottava rima, delves into jazz, literature, panting, Disney, the American Revolution, and George Herriman's Krazy Kat comics. A cycle of tales merges into one journey that of a skeptical narrator who comes to see how the Beat Generation's questionable muse might reflect some light from various lost worlds onto the road ahead.
