KIDS ON THE OTHER SIDE (I): BEATITUDE By Esteban Gómez Gutiérrez
just finished the war (WWII) and the world is still shit. In the United States nothing has been regenerated, nothing has changed, nothing has changed. The dead are a number, not more, and is to continue to be unaware of the past. All for nothing.
Dan wanted to run away, go in search of another reality. If I could change the world ... But you can not change, a war with 60 million dead has failed to change anything. Flee, the finger in the air and a long tarmac track ahead. Run away, no particular destination for adventure. Run away, even knowing that there is no door on the other side. Yes, but you have to flee. The
general notion of escape a reality that is rotten, is particularized in the area of \u200b\u200ba small group of writers for whom the journey is life. What matters is not the destination, it's all about the journey, enjoy the ride. A mid-twentieth century, Cassady and Kerouac living American travel adventures. The trip is another way of living. If there's money: petrol and road if there is none: dope and alcohol. The case is to leave reality, created a world for you. Cassady is the actor, the main character, the bad guy in this film, the bully, the rogue. Kerouac is a more intellectual guy, has the look of the writer in his eyes and sees everything in an objective manner: never risk his soul. Ginsberg will join them almost from the beginning, is an intellectual who likes to live on the edge, the edge of the abyss, totaling passions and always looking beyond. Burroughs flies off in search of new thrills. There are other actors (one as tough as Cassady is Corso), but enough of names and look for a label that allows us to classify them (we need to decode it, so the labels do not help us think), a generational label define what that these four guys do with their lives in the 50's, something like the Beat.
The Beat write about something that had begun years earlier, on the need to turn around before the world, drop their pants and show the crack of ass. A categorical Fuck you. A life is our life and live as we want. The road was short but it was important because it marked the spirit of the counterculture. Today we still drink from its essence. Both in substance (the world still sucks) and in the form (Kerouac's spontaneous prose, the author's freedom Ginssberg, experimentation to decomposition in Burroughs). There are his books, Along the way, Petrol, Junkie, Howl . There is more to be read.
did not last long, the flight over the limits of using peyote and LSD, first, and meditation, later, and went on to other worlds. The 50 ended and a new generation took the flag of freedom, of change, of the alternative. People seeking to heal the world with love. Much love. Too much love. Wrapped in psychedelic hippies discover and make you discover the new world: Buddhism and Zen philosophy Finally, Kerouac and Ginsberg, come to a stop on the way they discover another reality and, most importantly, they discover that no escape we must walk, not even a single step: the mind dominates everything. The 60 were filled with hope for a better world. An idealistic vision, detached from reality, that reality in the form of mud that had stuck to Beat your shoes even though they tried to flee it ..
50 years later, Vicente Muñoz Álvarez and Nacho Escuín , want to touch the reflection of that generation in the young American maverick English literature. Many authors that are positioned on the counter, regardless of institutionalization and public easements, fleeing the shit we still made the world, hoping at least be consistent with their soul, freedom for security does not change, not expect to sell a million copies of a book because they do not write for a million people, who know they are on the other side of what we call literature, in the shade, where snow remains more weather and water emanating from the scum, know life.

Bliss and called the anthology is a collection of reflections, bionarraciones, stories, experiences, trials, influences the writers of that generation had on the lives and writing of each the authors involved in this book project. The result is an amalgam of views on the Beat, a claim limit, the flight of the trip. The important thing remains to make the road is still not reached critical the end, is bucolic or precipitate.
