The First Third & Other Writings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
Immortalized as Dean Moriarty by Jack Kerouac in his epic novel, On the Road, Neal Cassady was infamous for his unstoppable energy and his overwhelming charm, his savvy hustle and his devil-may-care attitude. A treasured friend and traveling companion of Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and Ken Kesey, to name just some of his cohorts on the beatnik path, Cassady lived life to the fullest, ready for inspiration at any turn. Before he died in Mexico in 1968, just four days shy of his 42nd birthday, Cassady had written the jacket blurb for this book: "Seldom has there been a story of a man so balled up. No doubt many readers will not believe the veracity of the author, but I assure these doubting Thomases that every incident, as such, is true." As Ferlingetti writes in his editor's note, Cassady was "an early prototype of the urban cowboy who a hundred years ago might have been an outlaw on the range." Here are his autobiographical writings, the rambling American saga of a truly free individual. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Luke Daniels.

Triple Play: A Nathan Heller Casebook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
Since he first appeared on the literary scene in True Detective, hardboiled Chicago PI Nathan Heller has tackled some of the toughest cases the Windy City has to offer. Now the gumshoe returns in Triple Play: A Nathan Heller Casebook, a gripping collection based on real cases of the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s. In "Dying in the Post-War World", Heller returns from combat to find his marriage in shambles and himself square in the middle of the notorious Lipstick Killer case of 1946. "Kisses of Death" follows the PI into the 1950s, when he is hired to guard Marilyn Monroe. The famous starlet’s intellectual pursuits eventually lead to Greenwich Village and the grisly murder of an early beatnik. Finally, in "Strike Zone", Heller is hired by baseball boss Bill Veeck to investigate the 1961 murder of a famous pinch hitter whose private life will pull Nate into a dangerous new world of little people and big sins. Heller’s trademark cynicism and knack for keen social observation are on full display in this trio of short novels, offering a gritty insider’s look at some of the twentieth century’s most shocking crimes. ungekürzt.

Bitter Drink , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 247min
Beatnik detective Sunny Pascal is an expert at two things: cocktails and finding trouble. And when the filming of John Huston’s The Night of the Iguana hits a few snags with its sexed-up, star-studded cast in a Puerto Vallarta paradise, producer Ray Stark brings Sunny in to chill out the set. But matters get tipsy when someone’s found deader than dead, shot down by a gun belonging to one of the cast members. Now Sunny’s got to keep his Hollywood stars out of jail long enough for him to solve the case. But the trouble doesn’t stop with murder. The Mexican mafia and local newspapers wage a tension war against the hedonistic Americans, and if John Huston has anything to say about it, Sunny’s got to be the one to keep the show on the road. Only Sunny will be doing it his way: with a martini in one hand and a Colt in the other. Prolific Mexican comic book writer and Turn of the Screw Award–winner F. G. Haghenbeck gives us the spins with Bitter Drink, a tense tale of crime, passion, and cocktails. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tommy A. Gomez.

Gay: His Flashback , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min, (USK 18)
I was at the grocery store, picking up this zucchini and imagining a man that could have something like that. I fingered the long length in my hand. I felt somebody behind me. “That thing is not anything near reality. I think the average cock is 6 inches, but I don’t consider myself average.” His voice was like a melody in my head. I turned slowly to face a beatnik. “I hate to be blunt, but are you at all interested in getting to know me?” He looked around nervously and then he grabbed me without so much as a kiss to say hello.“You don’t really mess around. I kinda like your forthright approach. Do you suppose that you’d be interested in going back to my place? I have a bottle of chilled champagne waiting for us.” The object of my desire was thumping in front of my eyes.He followed my gaze and then he looked up into my eyes with this big smirk on his face. “I really don’t see that he’s going to be very happy about waiting. I think that we should find someplace quickly and get one out of the chamber.” He was wearing a jean jacket and jeans and not at all in the league of my desire.WARNING - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is suitable for 18+ only. ungekürzt.

Big Sur , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
Jack Kerouac shot to literary fame in 1957 with the publication of his iconic book of the Beat Generation, On the Road. Kerouac was termed "King of the Beats", a mantle he was entirely uncomfortable with. Along with Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, and several others forged a new literary voice and attitude - it was a movement that often mocked and challenged the American status quo. Prior to the publication of On the Road, Kerouac had written several novels and poems. With the almost overnight success of On the Road, publishers clamored for his other books and a Kerouac industry was born. Within only a few years of being heralded as the voice of a new generation, however, Kerouac was aging, severely alcoholic, and suffering from a death of the spirit. Arguably his finest post-On the Road novel, Big Sur captures Kerouac (here named Jack Duluoz) trying to escape the clamor of beatnik adulation by retreating to Lawrence Ferlinghetti's peaceful cabin in Big Sur. What begins as a pastoral regeneration descends into a personal hell when Kerouac suffers an alcoholic breakdown. Written in Kerouac's elegantly poetic and rapid-fire prose, Big Sur is both beautiful and horrific, a clear-eyed recollection of facing down his many demons and willing himself to survive them. ungekürzt.
