[Rarebooks] Announcement: New Catalog: THE BEATS including Herbert Huncke's Library

[Charles Agvent]

> *THE BEATS: 112 Items*
>
> *Our new catalog, THE BEATS, contains more than 100 items related to 
> the Beat movement, nearly all new arrivals, with a few items from 
> stock at reduced prices. Many of these wonderful pieces come from two 
> libraries, that of R'Lene Dahlberg, widow of the writer Edward 
> Dahlberg and friend of many authors, and that of one of the original 
> Beats, Herbert Huncke. Drug addict, petty thief, and sub-culture icon, 
> Huncke introduced William Burroughs to heroin, and Burroughs 
> introduced him to his friends, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Huncke 
> appeared as a character, sometimes under his own name, in ON THE ROAD 
> (Elmo Hassel), as well as three other books by Kerouac, HOWL, JUNKIE 
> (Herbert), and GO (Ancke). It was Huncke who introduced Kerouac to the 
> term "beat," which Kerouac would later use to describe his generation 
> to John Clellon Holmes. Kerouac called Huncke "the greatest 
> storyteller I know." In his last few years, Huncke lived in the 
> Chelsea Hotel, where his rent came from financial support from Jerry 
> Garcia of The Grateful Dead, whom Huncke never met. We hope you enjoy 
> browsing these amazing Beat relics. Our summer catalog will consist of 
> manuscript material and archives, including Paul Bowles and Amiri Baraka.*
