Carl Solomon
Carl Solomon (born 1928 March 30 in Bronx, New York State) is famous for his friendship with Ginsberg. Despite his mental problems he had a hyperactive intelligence, and was able to teach Ginsberg (not exactly a dummy himself) about numerous important writers and obscure geniuses.
Carl Solomonʼs uncle was A.A. Wyn, publisher of Ace paperback books. Carl worked intermittently for his uncle, and Ginsberg pleaded with Carl and his uncle to help publish his then-unpublishable friends, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac.
Ace Books finally used Burroughs' first novel, Junky as half of a pulp thriller "Two Books In One." But they were among the many publishers who turned down Kerouacʼs On The Road.
