The meaning of any second generation is always the reification of the past, even if only to stabilize a sense of the present in order to render it less threatening and chaotic. While both Duncan and Levi-Strauss were committed to a fundamentalist reduction of Zukofsky's work, their relationship to the sacred text was substantially different. For Kerouac, the signified is a template, not to be reproduced but entered into, much as a musicain might move through an improvisation with others. Point of view changes moment to moment even as the scene remains, if not stable exactly, in sight. In no other writer of fiction is the relation between sentence and signified so closely alligned.
