Beauty and the Beats

There’s much ado in all the papers about the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and the birth of the Beat Movement. I talked about the movement’s roots and fruits (and odd Catholic influences) back in 1997, in an essay posted here.

UPDATE: Pauli comments on my commentary.

Thank you for this Mike! My brother is a Jack K. fan, and I think I’ll look into this further and send him your link. Pray for him, please…he’s in a bad situation and struggling in the dark of his destructive world view.

PAX,
