The Beat Hotel Interview on Radio 4
Professor Oliver Harris, Research Institute of the Humanities, American Studies, took part in the Radio 4 programme "The Beat Hotel" presented by Professor Andrew Hussey.
Professor Harris was interviewed extensively for the broadcast, which discussed the cultural significance of the small Left Bank hotel in Paris where the American Beat writers, especially William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso, lived during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and where they created some of their most important and challenging poems and novels.
