Joyce Johnson recalls her youth in 1950s New York and her relationship with Jack Kerouac, and describes from within the beat circle of Ginsberg, Corso and Burroughs, artists who rejected the conventions of the era. She also evokes the sentimental education of a postwar woman and her struggle for independence.
