"American Hipster tells the tale of a New York sex worker and heroin addict whose unrepentant deviance caught the imagination of Beat writers Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs. Teetering between exhaustion and existential despair, Hunke often said, "I'm beat, man." His line gave Kerouac the label for a down-at-the-heels generation seeking spiritual sustenance as well as "kicks" in post-war America."--P. [4] of cover.

In Jack Kerouac's works, he is Junkey in "The Town and the City", and Elmer Hassel in "On The Road". In "Go" by John Clellon Holmes, he is Albert Anche. For Allen Ginsberg, he is the man with shoes full of blood in "Howl". So, Huncke is a big piece of the Beat movement. But a sad, sad piece too. ( )
