Elements of a Coffee Service
by Robert Glück
"In these narratives Robert Glück takes essay, lyric, fable, gossip, and dismantles these traditional categories. With their parts he constructs stories where emotions find release and events yield their meanings. His prose is studded with flashing, inventive wit and physical detail so intimate it passes into a shared sensory life. Each story is a fresh start. Childhood, gay experience, films, TV, joy in the sense, domesticity, the masquerade of bougeois safety - Robert Glück invites us to these occasions so that we may unravel the know of sexuality, violence and power"--Page 4 of cover.

Jack Kerouac was an American novelist and poet of French-Canadian ancestry. He is considered a literary iconoclast and, alongside William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, a pioneer of the Beat Generation Kerouac is recognized for his method of spontaneous prose. Thematically, his work covers topics such as Catholic spirituality, jazz, promiscuity, Buddhism, drugs, poverty, and travel. He became an underground celebrity and, with other beats, a progenitor of the hippie movement, although he remained antagonistic toward some of its politically radical elements.
