	Herbert Huncke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Herbert Huncke (January 9, 1915 – August 8, 1996) was a rare blend of sub-culture icon, writer, homosexual pioneer (he participated in Alfred Kinsey's studies), drug addict, common criminal, friend and enemy to America's most important social movements of the 20th century.
		Huncke was a close friend of Joan Adams Vollmer Burroughs, William's common-law wife, sharing a fondness for amphetamines with her.
		Although Huncke was not at the scene of the crime, he was picked-up in Manhattan because he lived with Ginsberg, and Huncke received the heavy prison sentence.

		Huncke, who led a life that had much in common with Jean Genet's, developed an original style that combined rather formal and colloquial elements reflecting both his middle-class Chicago background and his later days as a Bohemian.
		Huncke hated 9-to-5 restraints and sacrificed much to escape them, including, ironically, his freedom, spending a great deal of time in one of the most restricted environments of all: prison.
		Huncke, one of the fathers of the Beat movement, survived almost all his literary compatriots, living to a ripe old age in the process.

		Although Huncke later came to regret his loss of family ties, in his autobiography, Guilty of Everything he states his lenghty jail sentences were a partial result of his lack of family support, Huncke left Chicago as a teenager after his parents divorced.
		In the music world Huncke visited all the jazz clubs and associated with Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon (whom he was once busted with on 42nd Street for breaking into a parked car.) When he first met Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs they were interested in writing and also unpublished.

	LitKicks: Herbert Huncke
		Huncke was said to have introduced Kerouac to the term 'beat,' which Kerouac then used to describe his generation to John Clellon Holmes.
		Huncke does seem to have a way with words, because he later attempted to become a writer, and a story called 'Elsie John,' reprinted in 'The Beat Reader,' is surprisingly good.
		A superb collection of Huncke's best writings, 'The Herbert Huncke Reader,' was published by William Morrow in September 1997, and filmmaker Laki Vazakas's cinema verite documentary 'Huncke and Louis' records for history the paradoxical life of a celebrated literary drug addict in old age.

		Though born a year apart, Huncke (1915-96) had been living an underground life as a junkie, thief, and homosexual long before William Burroughs became part of the New York beat scene, and, if you believe him, was a sort of mentor to Burroughs.
		While Huncke directed a great deal of attention to obtaining narcotics and sex, which resulted in his incarceration off and on for years, and caused him to lead an extremely unstable life, he also devoted considerable attention to writing.
		Huncke hated 9-5 restraints and sacrificed much to escape them, including, ironically, his freedom, spending a great deal of time in one of the most restrictive of environments -- prison.

	In Depth Essay about Huncke and Louis, A Video Documentary by Laki Vazakas
		Shot in Hi-8 between 1993 and 1997, Huncke and Louis chronicles the turbulent friendship between Beat storyteller Herbert Huncke and photographer Louis Cartwright, who was murdered in New York's East Village in June of 1994.
		Huncke reveals his resilience by continuing to write and to share his picaresque tales up until his death, at the age of 81, in August of 1996.
		Although I had videotaped some of Huncke's readings in the late 80s and early 90s, my concerted effort to document his life with Louis Cartwright did not commence until the fall of 1993 when they were living on 7th street between C and D in New York's East Village.

	Book review: The Hubert Huncke Reader (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		An ironic part of the book is when Huncke and a friend went to sea in order to kick their habits, and they couldn't because there was dope everywhere they went, even aboard the ship they were on.
		Huncke may have been a junky, a bum and a thief, but you can tell by his writing that he was an educated one.
		Although the book says Huncke wasn't able to do much writing in prison, I'm sure he did a lot of reading, because that's about all they allow you to do in prison, and he had 11 years in prison to do it.

		While Herbert convalesced with friends in the Chelsea Hotel, Louis lost his ballast and began a descent in addiction and paranoia, fueled by his fear that his older friend would die and leave him alone.

	The Herbert Huncke Reader
		Huncke's work is a vital part of Beat literature, but until now has remained relatively unknown.
		As WS Burroughs wrote, in The Herbert Huncke Reader, "Huncke had adventures and misadventures that were not available to middle-class, comparatively wealthy college people like...me....Huncke had extraordinary experiences that were quite genuine." The sad true is that Huncke was the type that Burroughs wrote about, but didn't like much.
		I think there are obvious defects in the style of Huncke, he lacks focus and the ability to carry a narrative coherently to a signifigant conclusion.

	The Beat Generation: Herbert Huncke: The Beats
		Written in a flat first-person style that sounds as if it was first tape-recorded and then transcribed and edited, Huncke relates a series of grim (and often banal) tales of survival.
		Although Huncke’s work is not the stuff of high literature (and it’s unfair to Selby to draw such a comparison), the content (if not the style) of his memoir fascinates in similar ways and produces similar feelings of woe.
		Huncke introduced Burroughs to shady characters and experiences (“I gave Burroughs his first shot”), and he was later described in Burroughs’s first book, Junkie.

		The inspiration for the lifestyle adopted by the Beat writers, Huncke introduced William Burroughs to heroin, gave Kerouac the term 'beat', guided Allen Ginsberg and John Clellon Holmes through 40s New York......
		Huncke himself began writing in the 1940s - locking himself in the men's room in the subway as the only place where he could work in peace - producing poetry, stories and memoirs.
		Bio/Advert out the way, I like Huncke because he embodies everything great about the Beats, full of searing honesty and a love of life, he tells his stories with a perfection of tone and a beauty of language that grows from experience after experience that shape his writing as they shaped him - the Ur-Beat.

	Beat generation
		The term beat generation was introduced by Jack Kerouac in approximately 1948 to describe his social circle to the novelist John Clellon Holmes (who published the first novel of the beat generation, titled Go, in 1952, along with a manifesto of sorts in the New York Times Magazine: "This is the beat generation").
		Calling this relatively small group of struggling writers, artists, hustlers and drug addicts a "generation" was to make the claim that they were representative and important—the beginnings of a new trend, analogous to the influential Lost Generation.
		Perhaps equally important were the less obviously creative members of the scene: Lucien Carr (who introduced Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs); Herbert Huncke, a drug addict and petty thief met by Burroughs in 1946; Hal Chase, an anthropologist from Denver who in 1947 introduced into the group Neal Cassady.

	Book Reviews - The Herbert Huncke Reader
		Huncke never fought for the fame, the fortune, and the boys.
		In Huncke's early years, growing up in Massachusetts and NYC, he used to entertain the boys at local cafeterias with his succinct yet street jargon-fulled stories; clearly he had a talent for story telling.
		Although not as transcendent as his contempoaries (Burroughs, Ginsberg, Corso), Huncke's writing should not overlooked as "writings of a drug addict," or "a subordinate Beatnik." Huncke did have talent (most notably with recitations) and has definitely worked to the fullest by publishing what he could, despite his painful heroin addiction and ostracization.

	The Alsop Review
		Huncke met Burroughs in 1944 in New York City, when Burroughs was trying to sell a sawed-off shotgun and some morphine Syrettes.
		Huncke's friends remark about his considerable powers of empathy—powers which undoubtedly held him in good stead on the street.
		Though Huncke borders on the obsessive in describing the physical characteristics of the person on whom he is focusing, there is much about that person we never learn—partly because Huncke never inquires about it; and, in any case, we will be on to a new person in a moment.
