Beat Surrender

Work:: Beat Surrender (S1392766082)

To beat or not to beat! Sometimes a force can enter our lives, so primal, so perfect and so powerful that all we can do is bow to its inevitability. Following the success of On the Road Jack Kerouac fled to London to reassess his life. London, the late Fifties - a city where youthful rebellion collides with the dead-eyed blandness of a country built by yesterday's men. In a London hotel bar bride-to-be Maggie meets her personal Fate in the form of charismatic writer and poet Jack Kerouac. Maggie fears a future of quiet desperation whilst Jack wants to escape his curse of literary notoriety. The pulse of a new age beats all around them, propelling them into conflicts and decisions that will shape the rest of their lives. Beat Surrender is an exuberant, evocative and highly enjoyable fantasy that conjures up the coffee-house bohemian atmosphere of bygone days. Come along and surrender to your own beat – and bring your lacerated soul; you just might need it tonight Can you dig it?
