It is a story too unbelievable to make up. Book jacket. Ancient Greeks and Romans had a term for the Double, referring to such an entity as a personal daemon or protector, a "heavenly twin," who acts as an invisible guide during the lifetime of an individual. Recent Jungian psychologists refer to "the double" as "a soul figure with all the erotic and spiritual significance" attached to those inner figures whom Jung called "anima" the inner feminine side of men and "animus" the inner masculine side of women.
The double archetype, however, is not of the opposite, but of the same gender. Every man and woman carries within his or her soul this psychic pattern or energy, expressed in the need for same-sex relationships of love, tenderness, affirmation and intimacy. For the male, this archetype contains those of father, son, brother, and, for some, lover; for the female, those of mother, daughter, sister, and lover would apply.
The double is facilitative of rapport, creating an atmosphere between doubles of profound equality and deep familiarity that can lead to the development of self-awareness, self-identity, and great creativity.
A detailed history of the use of amphetamines follows the rise, fall, and surprising resurgence of the popular drug in America since they were marketed as the original antidepressant in the s. In the last days before the real world, six college friends prepare to take a bowin epic fashion. After Sunday there's just Harry, the future business owner; Justin, the medical intern; Trent, the hapless wanderer; and Clarence, soon to don the badge and blues.
But now they have years of memories to honor, all packed into one weekend. Will they grow into their new adult roles? Will they go out in style with the girls? Will the four of them even survive the sheer level of debauchery? Living in an apartment paid for by the Grandma, an ex-hooker turned millionaire, Courtney and Ling-Ling couldn't be more opposite, yet are completely inseparable.
Courtney and Harry have been hooking up for years, neither able to commit, but their imminent separation is about to test that arrangement, and Ling-Ling's never-ending reciprocated crush on Justin just might become more than that. Their lives intersect with that of Professor Goodkat, their idolized instructor who never quite "left" college himself. In Goodkat, we find the consequence of getting to live out a hedonist fantasy, and the possibility for change in anyone. Hilarious, raunchy and uninhibited, The Final Weekend: A Stoned Tale captures contemporary society while chronicling the dreams, regrets, perspectives, and future after youth in an unbroken sequence of shockingly touching exploits.
No longer armed with the excuse of college stupidity, these friends will go on a journey with higher stakes than a night out has ever had. Because there are things about themselves that blacking out can't erase. Discusses how Lu Anne Henderson fostered the friendship between the writer Jack Kerouac and her husband Neal Cassady, and became one of the inspirations for Kerouac's most famous work, "On the Road.

This Pocket Essential provides an introductory essay examining the importance of the writers and their work in American culture. Separate chapters are devoted to the lives and work of Burroughs, Ginsberg and Kerouac. Later chapters discuss the other members of this movement Neal Cassady, Herbert Huncke and many more , the Beats on film, and their influence on the counterculture of the 60s. In this essay I've sketched the Beat artists and writers -- all of them young and exuberant -- who came together in San Francisco in the mids, and who brought with them much of the urban culture of New York and the rural culture of the Pacific Northwest.
I've put Natalie Jackson at the center of this group portrait and approached her death as a detective might probe a mystery.
If you haven't heard of Jackson you're not alone. She's a potent figure, and at the same time largely invisible. In these pages, I mean to bring her into focus and into the open. Born in New Jersey in , she died in San Francisco in , just twenty-four years old, nearly a decade younger than Kerouac and five years younger than Ginsberg.
I think of her as a Beat kid sister on an adventure of her own. Mania takes you into the world of the young rebels who transformed American culture in the s-a world of sex, drugs, jazz, crime, insanity, and a defiant new literature.

It is a story too unbelievable to make up. Book jacket. Carolyn Cassady reveals a side of Neal Cassady rarely seen-that of husband and father, a man who craved respectability, yet could not resist the thrills of a wilder and ultimately more destructive lifestyle. Recent Jungian psychologists refer to "the double" as "a soul figure with all the erotic and spiritual significance" attached to those inner figures whom Jung called "anima" the inner feminine side of men and "animus" the inner masculine side of women.
The double archetype, however, is not of the opposite, but of the same gender.

The double is facilitative of rapport, creating an atmosphere between doubles of profound equality and deep familiarity that can lead to the development of self-awareness, self-identity, and great creativity. For men, it lies behind males bonding intellectually, emotionally, and at times physically with other males, and is responsible for any collaborative efforts between them.
