"During the 20th century, France has been more permissive than other countries in terms of censorship, and many important foreign language novels were originally published in France while being banned in America: Joyce's ''Ulysses'' (published by Sylvia Beach in Paris, 1922), Vladimir Nabokov's ''Lolita'' and William S. Burroughs's ''Naked Lunch'' (both published by Olympia Press), and Henry Miller's ''Tropic of Cancer'' (published by Obelisk Press). Additionally, Paris has been the home-in-exile to two American literary movements: the [[lost generation]] and the [[beat generation]]."

-The [[Beat Hotel]] was a small, run-down hotel 
-The Beat Hotel was a small, run-down hotel at 9 Rue Git-le-Coeur in the Latin Quarter of Paris. It gained fame through the extended 'family' of beat writers and artists who stayed there from the late 1950s to the early 1960s in a ferment of creativity. 
- 
-Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky first stayed there in 1957 and were soon joined by William Burroughs and Gregory Corso. It was here that Burroughs completed the text of Naked Lunch and began his lifelong collaboration with Brion Gysin. It was also where Ian Sommerville became Burroughs' 'systems advisor' and lover. Gysin introduced Burroughs to the Cut-up technique and with Sommerville they experimented with a 'dream machine' and audio tape cut-ups. Ginsberg wrote his moving and mature poem Kaddish at the hotel and Corso wrote the Mushroom cloud shaped poem Bomb. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_Hotel [Jan 2006]
