Mad to Be Saved by David Sterritt
This text explores the Beat Generation, its intersections with film, and interactions with society and 1950s culture. It balances the rebellion through creativity and behaviour against the values of conformity, conservatism, worry over cold-war hostilities, and the rat race to material success.David Sterritt is a film professor at Columbia University and the Maryland Institute College of Art, and professor emeritus at Long Island University. A noted critic, author, and scholar, he is chair of the National Society of Film Critics and chief book critic of Film Quarterly, and was for many
years the film critic for The Christian Science Monitor. His books include Mad to Be Saved: The Beats, the '50s, and Film and Screening the Beats: Media Culture and the Beat Sensibility, and he serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Beat Studies. His writings have appeared in the New York
Times, Huffington Post, Journal of American History, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, Beliefnet, Chronicle of Higher Education, and many other publications. Sterritt has appeared as a guest on CBS Morning News, Nightline, Charlie Rose, CNN Live Today, Countdown with Keith Olbermann and The
O'Reilly Factor, among many other television and radio shows.
