The murder that fascinated the Beats and serves as the narrative focus of the jointly written novel "And The Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks" doesn't happen until twenty pages before the end. William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac wrote alternating chapters in 1944 in what's being billed as crime fiction. The slim novel plods along spending most of its pages on folks scrounging drinks and...
Jack Kerouac, William Styron and VS Naipaul among others offer stunning insights into the art of writing, says Jessica Holland Writing is difficult and painful and writers are all a little mad. That's the first impression you get from this fourth anthology of interviews with authors about their art, which are arranged chronologically from William Styron in 1954 to Marilynne Robinson in 2008. "Let's...
Google hasn’t traditionally engaged in large-scale advertising campaigns. Instead, it has relied mainly on word of mouth to become the $180 billion company it is today. However in the last year, the company has rolled out bigger and bigger paid advertising efforts (as many mature brands start to do). That includes the Go Google campaign back in August, promoting Google apps as a reliable alternative...

If you imagine a soundtrack for 1950s-60s beat writer Jack Kerouac, it’s surely bebop, not country-folk. But that didn’t stop Death Cab for Cutie’s Benjamin Gibbard and Son Volt’s Jay Farrar from collaborating on One Fast Move or I’m Gone, a rootsy set of songs loosely based on a Kerouac novel. Would the legendary scribe [...]
Forty years ago today, Jack Kerouac died. Not for him the glorious blaze that's the proverbial price of a life lived too fast. At the age of 47, he may have died relatively young, but he didn't leave a good-looking corpse. Kerouac had retreated into the philosophical if not actual loneliness of the writer's life, and died in hospital after vomiting much of his vitality out into the toilet of the home...
While Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar have had their share of differences since the acrimonious breakup of Uncle Tupelo, at least they now have one rather remarkable thing in common -- they've both had the opportunity to collaborate with a noted American writer who happened to be dead. In 1998, Tweedy's group Wilco joined forces with Billy Bragg on the album Mermaid Avenue, in which they set a handful of...
Recall Patent Nonuse and the Role of Public Interest as a Deterrent to Technology Suppression [Kurt M. Saunders, 15 Harv. J. Law & Tec 389 ] which begins with text from Jack Kerouac's novel, On the Road, about technology suppression. But compare to "The Graduate." Recall also the movie "The Formula."

A Globe and Mail photographer captures Raymi in her element. For you cave dwellers, 26-year-old Toronto "blogebrity" (who even says that') Lauren White has been running her widely read personal blog since "before you even knew how to attach a photo in email" (says her Twitter ). From the time she was seventeen, she's been amassing a mega intense army of followers—and even...

As further evidence that haiku's popularity has spread all over the world, and continues to both inspire new writers, and new haiku-like forms, we present the Filipino-born variant on haiku, the hay(na)ku. A brief history, taken from the publication blurb of an inaugural anthology of poems in this form: The "hay(na)ku" is a poetic form invented by Eileen Tabios, as inspired by Richard Brautigan,...
Carol Graser , our host, started off the night with a poem by Pablo Neruda, then on into a night of the cafe's variety of open mic poets, dancers, & Nicole Peyrafitte, the performance artist as the featured poet. The dancers were a troop of 4 young ballet students, "Lily Loveday & her Dancers," who performed a haiku to guitar accompaniment -- so good they had to do it twice, in the...
