As far as my work was concerned he said, “Go ahead, everything you do is great.” He watched over my shoulder as I wrote stories, yelling, “Yes! That’s right! Wow! Man!” and “Phew!” and wiped his face with his handkerchief. “Man, wow, there’s so many things to do, so many things to write!” What does this excerpt demonstrate about Kerouac’s connection to the literary movement of the beat generation?

Answer 1

His "avalanche-style", without concern for punctuation and paragraph, is a striking feature of the writers of the beat movement .
