CGiii Comment
During the years from 1957 to 1963, a clique of expatriot American poets, novelists, musicians, dancers and other very creative people lived in a small, run down, dirty and extremely cheap hotel located at 9, Rue Git Le Coeur on the Left Bank in the heart of avant garde Paris.
Most notable among the hotel's residents were Alan Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs, whose extreme lifestyle and creativity are brilliantly chronicled in Alan Govenar's documentary, The Beat Hotel.
