• W779709145 abstract "Pilgrims to Elsewhere: Reflections on Writings by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Bob Kaufman and Others. Gregory Stephenson Afterward by Bent Sorensen. (Roskilde: EyeCorner Press, 2013).Well known in area of Beat studies, Gregory Stephenson, author of Daybreak Boys: Essays on Literature of Beat Generation (1990), has compiled another collection of essays ranging from some of core Beat writers he addressed in his earlier collection, such as Ginsberg, Kerouac, and Corso, to late nineteenthand early twentieth-century writers James S. Lee and Fitz Hugh Ludlow, who Stephenson suggests we consider Beat predecessors. At sixty-seven years of age, Stephenson has assembled his recent writings on Beats in Pilgrims to Elsewhere, slim 111-page volume made up of fourteen chapters and an afterward by Bent Sorensen (publisher of EyeCorner Press). Pilgrims contains five close readings, set of explanatory notes for readers of Dharma Bums, three book reviews, substantial essay on work of Bob Kaufman, three brief cultural studies essays on Kerouac and Corso, as well notes on Ken Nordine and James S. Lee. What ties these disparate essays together, according to Stephenson, is certain disposition of spirit shared by these writers; sense of being in exile on earth ... even as they share desire to discover ... spiritual home (Preface n.p.). Stephenson echoes here concluding paragraph of his introduction to Daybreak Boys: The enduring value of these works lies in their particular pertinence to central issues of human existence, their probing of human identity, and their quest for sacred vision (15).The content of Pilgrims to Elsewhere is anchored by first three essays-a close reading of Ginsberg's Supermarket in California, Kaufman overview, and close reading of Kerouac's Old Angel latter of which is one of six chapters on Kerouac in volume, including two brief close readings of On Road, review of Isaac Gewirtz's Kerouac at Bat: Fantasy Sports and King of Beats, above-mentioned explanatory notes, and short cultural studies look at Kerouac and Harpo Marx. first of these close readings explores motif of rivers in On Road. Stephenson sees river image as potent, central symbol enriching and uniting [Kerouac's] narrative (48), one which suggests a larger, deeper scheme of things within which lives of novel's characters take (49); rivers evoke mystic or metaphysical sense of our place in history and eternity and thus act to underpin one of novel's deepest truths, sense of life's wonder and mystery, sense of infinite (49). second brief essay, which is partly close reading and partly cultural studies analysis, centers on Sal's night in Cheyenne, Wyoming, place where, Stephenson suggests, novel's thematic strands ... of anticipation and disappointment, ideals and realities, purpose and weakness, and knowledge of human duality and of sorrow inherent in existence first intersect (50). It is in Cheyenne that Sal experiences an emotion that will reoccur throughout novel: watching figures recede into vastness behind him or away from him, feeling as they vanish from view an implacable sense of loneliness and loss; here he learns inevitable forlomness of human condition (52-53). latter half of this essay provides explanatory notes gleaned from Cheyenne Genealogical and Historical Society for the deeply devoted reader of On Road'''-facts and figures from radio station call letters and street names, to brief history of chili con came, dish Sal indulges in during his night in Cheyenne.The most fully realized of Kerouac essays is Earwitness Testimony: Sound and Sense, Word and Void in Jack Kerouac's Old Angel Midnight, which, interestingly, is only essay in collection that cites previous Beat scholarship. …" @default.
