The Beat Generation is a term used to describe both a group of American writers who came to prominence in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the cultural phenomena that they wrote about and inspired (later sometimes called beatniks though this is considered by many to be a pejorative term). The major works of Beat writing are Allen Ginsberg’s Howl (1956), William S. Burroughs’s Naked Lunch (1959) and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road (1957)[1]. Both Howl and Naked Lunch were the focus of obscenity trials that ultimately helped to liberalize what could be published in the United States. On the Road transformed Kerouac’s friend Neal Cassady into a youth-culture hero. The members of the Beat Generation quickly developed a reputation as new bohemian hedonists, who celebrated non-conformity and spontaneous creativity.

In the famous Greenwich Village of New York, West Fourth Street Basketball courts sit right on top of the major junction of the West Fourth Street Subway line. Starting as an underused square of concrete with two baskets & surrounded by chain link fence, it was used for seedy hanging out and not much sport. By the Seventies it was turning into hot competitive games with fewer amateurs and serious top-notch players. Huge crowds of fans, rock’n’roll blaring on fuzzy speakers, beer, hooking up, and a lot of nonsense and brawls. / It’s equally famous as the subway stop where you get out for the West Village: jazz, food, great Italian neighborhood, theatres, tiny but highly-coveted apartments, NYU campus down the block in Washington Square, beatniks, Mc Dougal Street, markets, and lots of street and foot traffic. / You’d be running up the same subway steps that Bob Dylan used to race to get to the nickel and dime gigs at dark clubs when he was making history.
