Go

It's called the first "Beat" novel. As a monument to that it does properly use the word "beat" and maintains a mostly plot-less narrative to youth and to that era. Holmes doesn't get the credit that Cassady, Kerouac Burroughs and Ginsberg do. Unlike many others, author John Clellon Holmes, like Kesey outlived the era. So they were able to produce later better works for which to be renowned.

"Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!"
Just that snarling curse, shouted over and over again, at every-thing: the cars, the buildings, the deaf night itself; those two crude words, full of outrage and horror, thrown into the streets like crashing bottles.
"Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!"

-John Clellon Holmes
