What does it mean to be "Beat?"

What effect have the "Beats" had on the American Way of Life?

What are their beliefs regarding sex, jazz, the use of drugs? Is the "Beat Generation" a passing fad or a deep-seated revolt? These and many other questions are answered in this book, which uses conversations, personal interviews, and tape recordings to delve beneath the surface and show the real world of the "Beats."

"The Holy Barbarians is replete with the frank autobiographical reminisces of a group of young Americans of extremely varied backgrounds, who hold in common only a complete rejection of the values of bourgeois society. . . .

No One is going to be able to assess the depth and breadth of this rebellion without referring to Lipton's humane and sensitive book."

"A lasting work of art!

Superlatives are dangerous, but sometimes hard to resist. George Lucas's American Graffiti is easily the best movie [of 1973]. Beyond that, I think it is the most important American movie since Five Easy Pieces-maybe since Bonnie and Clyde. The special excitement of the film is that it takes us beyond nostalgia-into a rediscovery of the past and of memories that might have been lost forever. American Graffiti is like going home; it's a primal experience!"

-Stephen Farber, The (Sunday) New York Times

"A very good movie, funny, tough, unsentimental!"

-Roger Greenspun, The New York Times

"A masterfully executed and profoundly affecting movie!"

-The Los Angeles Times

**** An altogether endearing movie that turns back the clock to an age of sublime innocence. Warm, funny, and poignant, a richly entertaining movie guaranteed to please nearly everyone!"

-Kathleen Carroll, New York Daily News
