By the time Lucien Carr stabbed David Kammerer to death on the banks of the Hudson
River in August 1944, it was clear that the hard-partying teenage companion to Jack
Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, and William S. Burroughs might need to reevaluate
his life. A two-year stint in a reformatory straightened out the wayward youth but
did little to curb the wild ways of his friends. What is more remarkable than the
manic lives they led is that they succeeded-- remaking their own generation and inspiring
the ones that followed
