I spent part of a year working for Carol Berge, credibly also part of the Beats, and she had a deep hatred of...lots of things. Lovey-dovey she was not. But Ginsberg was her particular bete noir. And one of my teachers in grad school was also part of the beat movement but favorable to Allan. So in a way I've been surrounded by the beats. I think perhaps they helped open things up for the rest of us for a decade or two. But I'm not confident there won't be a serious "Victorian Age" movement in the near future...
