Join the roomGo es una novela semi-autobiográfica de 1952 escrita por John Clellon Holmes. Se considera la primera novela publicada que representa a la Generación Beat. Ambientada en Nueva York, trata sobre las vidas de un grupo de personajes basados en gran medida en los amigos con los que Holmes solía juntarse en las décadas de 1940 y 1950 en Manhattan. Un submundo de fiestas impulsadas por las drogas, bares, clubes y amor libre se explora a través de los ojos del personaje Paul Hobbes, la representación de Holmes de sí mismo en la novela. Hobbes se debate entre unirse a sus amigos en su existencia tumultuosa y tratar de mantener su vida relativamente estable y su matrimonio con su esposa Kathryn.
