Attention, Redditors. I just created a Jack Kerouac subreddit. Click here to visit.

David S. Wills said...: Hi, Dale. I was wondering, is there a general Beat subreddit? I see a literature one, and I'll of course be joining your Kerouac one, but to be honest my interest lies in more in Burroughs.; December 13, 2012 at 12:23 AM
Rick Dale, author of The Beat Handbook said...: David, I don't think there is a Beat subreddit, although I am a novice Redditor. The thing to do is build one. It's fairly easy to do: click on the link called "Create your own community." I didn't see a Burrougs subreddit either. Thanks for your interest.; December 13, 2012 at 1:17 PM
David S. Wills said...: I shall look into it. I'm also a novice.; December 18, 2012 at 2:53 AM

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
