Herbert Huncke in Allen’s office at the CUNY Grad Center, 40th Floor of the Grace Building, 42nd Street, New York City, Snapped by Allen, October 2, 1991.  Huncke would have been a guest lecturer for Allen’s class that day.

WSB [Paris] to Allen Ginsberg [New York] Dec 2, 1959 9 Rue Git Le Coeur Paris 6, France Dear Allen, I enclose material for Big Table.. Hope is not to too late.. So much work I never catch up and all absolutely urgent.. Brion’s [Gysin] work which I enclose illustrates new cut up method which he taught me.. I have met my first Master in Brion.. “Back Seat of Dreaming” is part of my current novel.. I have writ­ ten most of it remaining only the task of correlating material.. It is based on recent newspaper account of four? young explorers? who died of thirst in Egypt desert.. Just who died is uncertain since one member of the party has not been found yet dead or alive and the identity of the missing person is dubious owing to advanced state of decomposed when found the bodies and the methods of identi­ fication used lacked all precise techniques based entirely on docu­ ments on person but it seems the party was given to exchange of identifications just for jolly to wearing each others under and outer garments and even to writing in each others diaries an unheard of intimacy in any modern expedition.. So if my fictionalized??? account is difficult to follow so was the action, pops.. I am sending this material to you instead of direct to [Paul] Carroll so you can dig it.. I know you are busy but I think worth while pick up on this action now and I will explain method in detail when I see you also we have other project fore.. Temporary hitch.. My Old Lady [Burroughs’ mother] read the Life article and has thrown off her shop keeper weeds and revealed her hideous rank in Matriarch Inc.: “I Queen Bee Laura of Worth Avenue.. Stay out of my territory, punk..” She has, in fact, forbidden me to set foot in Palm Beach on pain of Orpheus.. And won’t send me money to come home.. I will buzz my Greek Uncle Gid [Maurice Girodias] and make it soon as possible.. Love Bill Will send more $ when I receive Mother Money. Please send mescaline if possible. Need transport out of the area. #herberthuncke #joannekyger #carolyncassady #jankerouac #pattismith #gregorycorso #dianediprima #williamburroughs #philipwhalen #gregorycorso #herberthuncke #jackkerouac #nealcassady #luannehenderson https://www.instagram.com/p/CYrQHI0M7h7eopoH05fNMlKT_0i1r-uqOv83ts0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Herbert E. Huncke, his room Hotel Elite, N.E. corner 8th Avenue and 51'st Street diagonally opposite Madison Square Garden Fall 1953. Rare glimpse of Huncke, then strung out. Saw him infrequently that season, found him in his room to say goodbye on my way to Mexico, just before Christmas. (photo & caption:  Allen Ginsberg) Collections of Huncke’s writings are still out there, and well worth searching out:  The Huncke Reader, Guilty of Everything, & The Evening Sun Turned Crimson. #herberthuncke #allenginsberg #beatgeneration #newyorkcity #timessquare #theveningsunturnedcrimson #theherberthunckereader #guiltyofeverything (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWjXE7vuSc/?utm_medium=tumblr
