Publisher's Synopsis
""The Real Bohemia: A Sociological and Psychological Study of the Beats"" by Francis Joseph Rigney is a non-fiction book that explores the cultural and social phenomenon of the Beat Generation, a literary movement that emerged in the United States in the 1950s. The author uses sociological and psychological theories to analyze the lives and works of the most prominent Beat writers, including Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs. Rigney examines the social and historical context that gave rise to the Beat Generation, as well as the cultural and artistic influences that shaped their writing. He also delves into the personal lives of the Beats, exploring their relationships, struggles with addiction, and their search for meaning and identity.
