IntroductionThe subtitle I chose may be a little confusing at first, but it's just a reference to the hit HBO series "Sex and the City” which I find funny. . After a brief introduction to the Beat “movement” and the life and work of Allen Ginsberg, in the main part of my article I try to examine two topics related to Ginsberg: his relationship with his religious roots, Judaism, through certain sections of his poem, "Kaddish". Then, I present the book “Reality Sandwiches”, and his famous “relationship” with New York, through his poem “To My Sad Self”. Since this is a complex and meaningful poem, I also give a conclusion about some of the things he cared about, some of the things he found interesting to examine, some of his thoughts about the world in which we live. Beat GenerationThe Beat Generation was a group of post-war American writers, ruling the literary world in the 1950s. However, "Beat" was not only a literary style, but also a way of life and thought. Central elements of the "Beat" scene included experimentation with drugs and alternative forms of sexuality, interest in Eastern philosophy and religion, and strong rejection of materialism and capitalism. Since many of them were left-wing, even communist, the McCarthy era treated them as “enemies of the state.” Most beatniks (as they called themselves) became integrated into the hippie subculture in the 1960s. The most significant works of the era include the novel "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac (1957 ), “Naked Lunch” by William S. Burroughs (1959) and “Howl” by Allen Ginsberg (1956). One of the main contributors to the movement was Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who invented City Lights Publisher, which provided a good alternative for artists not finding suitable and understanding publishers due to the medium of paper......uncertainty on serious questions (death and life, origin of humanity, existence of God), this appears in the very last line, which refers to line 22. In "My Sad Self", NYC becomes the metaphor for these questions . ConclusionGinsberg constantly strived to find answers to his questions, as did many of his contemporaries. In a social and political system that artificially generates happiness, and does so constantly today, this type of "search" is one of the most difficult tasks of Man, but at least leads to great works of literature.
