The Beats are back! Allen Ginsberg biographer and former Yippie activist Jonah Raskin profiles and interviews Jack Kerouac scholar Gerald Nicosia as three new Beat movement-inspired movies are in the works, including Walter Salles’ version of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.” Raskin and Nicosia talk about “Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and their friends and lovers.”
