what is your favorite beat generation author?

Question

please explain why.

sorry. it should read 'Who', not what.

Answer 1

Jack Kerouac

He was freewheelin, fun loving one minute--deep and spritual the next all the way to tragic, lost and back. His ground breaking spontaneous prose read like poetry at times. He was incredibly sincere and made me think about how our fastpaced, materialistic lifestyle can pull us away from what really matters.

try "Dharma Bums" or Desolation Angels
