Gerald Nicosia, a living archive of Beat culture, talks around his research on Jack Kerouac as well as the support role he played in Kerouac's daughter Jan's often tragic life. Nicosia reflects on his friendship with Ntozake Shange, who he's currently writing a book on. We leap from Basquiat to Alan Ginsburg to William Burroughs to Ferlinghetti etcetera. This is a conversation that can't be missed.
