At the time, the Beat writers and poets (and they were usually both, with varying degrees of coherency and success) seemed interesting and original. Decades later, when you're not constantly on the puff or dinged on coffee with added special mushrooms, they seem self-regarding and humourless. Reading both 'Alices' again, though, makes me wonder if Carroll wasn't on both much of the time!
