Beatniks: An English Road Movie (1997) is a novel by British author Toby Litt. Set in Bedford in 1995, the novel concerns the adventures of a group of young people who admire the Beat Writers and Musicians of the 1950s and 1960s America. They attempt to live in the lifestyle of the Beatniks and at least one of them dresses in a retro style. Despite their shared interests, there are feelings of hostility and intimidation within the group. The novel was initially published by Secker & Warburg in 1997.
