The Electrocution of Block 38383939383

The Electrocution of Block 38383939383

Jack Kerouac

Biography / Poetry / Fiction

In 1954, Jack Kerouac announced that he was writing the world's first Beat Science Fiction novel; what resulted the following year was actually a short story of around 10,000 words entitled cityCityCITY, a futurist dystopian tale of a mega-city plated in superconducting steel, whose inhabitants are housed in "Zone Blocks" which double, when necessary, as electrified mass-execution chambers. Kerouac apparently sent this blueprint to William S. Burroughs with a request to collaborate on a full-length version, but Burroughs declined. Thus the story languished in limbo, until a new version of it, entitled "The Electrocution Of Block 38383939383," was published in 1959 (in Nugget magazine). This special ebook edition of "The Electrocution Of Block 38383939383" as it was originally published, restores to prominence one of the most intriguing literary experiments of Kerouac's oeuvre, and of the Beat Generation as a whole.

Though best-known for his epic masterpiece Moby-Dick, Herman Melville also left a body of short stories arguably unmatched in American fiction.

In these stories, Melville cuts to the heart of race, class, capitalism, and globalism in America, deftly navigating political and social issues that resonate as clearly in our time as they did in Melville's. Also including The Piazza Tales in full, this collection demonstrates why Melville stands not only among the greatest writers of the nineteenth century, but also as one of our greatest contemporaries. This Penguin Classics edition features the Reading Text of Billy Budd, Sailor, as edited from a genetic study of the manuscript by Harrison Hayford and Merton M.
