Description

David Amram's memoir, Offbeat, is a lively account of his friendship with Jack Kerouac and their shared adventures in the creative community of 1950s America.

The story takes readers from the coffee houses of New York to the San Francisco Opera House, exploring the making of the film Pull My Daisy and the cultural shifts that emerged during this period. Amram's energetic and heartfelt narrative offers a unique glimpse into the lives of artists such as Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Langston Hughes, Neal and Carolyn Cassady.

With its rich historical context and engaging storytelling, Offbeat provides a fascinating insight into the creative spirit of 1950s America and the enduring legacy of Kerouac's work.
