Beat Writers

垮掉派作家

Beat writers identifies a loose-knit group of poets and novelists, writing in the second half of the 1950s and early 1960s, who shared a set of social attitudes opposed to the prevailing cultural, literary, and moral values, and in favor of unfettered self-realization and self-expression. While the Beat movement was short-lived, it left its importance on the subjects and forms of many writers of the 1960s and 1970s.

垮掉派作家指的是20世纪50年代后半期至60年代初期，一些诗人和小说家由于共同的社会观念而结成的一个松散的集团。他们反对主流文化、文学和道德价值观，主张无拘无束的自我实现与自我表现。垮掉派运动的寿命虽然短暂，但在创作主题和形式上，对20世纪60年代和70年代的许多作家产生了深远的影响。
