Kerouac: A Biography Paperback - 1994
by Ann Charters; Foreword by Allen Ginsberg; Preface by Ann Charters
First line
In 1954, when Jack Kerouac was thirty-two years old, he tried to define, for a friend, what it was he wanted out of life.
From the rear cover
Now that Kerouac's major novel, On the Road is accepted as an American classic, academic critics are slowly beginning to catch up with his experimental literary methods and examine the dozen books comprising what he called 'the legend of Duluoz.' Nearly all of his books have been in print internationally since his death in 1969, and his writing has been discovered and enjoyed by new readers throughout the world. Kerouac's view of the promise of America, the seductive and lovely vision of the beckoning open spaces of our continent, has never been expressed better by subsequent writers, perhaps because Kerouac was our last writer to believe in America's promise--and essential innocence--as the legacy he would explore in his autobiographical fiction.
