It was in his letters that Jack Kerouac set down the raw material
that he transmuted into his novels, exploring and refining the
spontaneous prose style that became his trademark. The letters in
this volume, written between 1940, when Kerouac was a freshman at
college, and 1956, immediately before his breathless leap into
celebrity with the publication of On the Road, offer invaluable
insights into Kerouac's family life, his friendships with Neal and
Carolyn Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, and William S.
Burroughs, his travels, love affairs, and literary apprenticeship.
At once fascinating reading and a major addition to Kerouac
scholarship, here is a rare portrait of the writer as a young
adventurer of immense talent, energy, and ambition in the midst of
writing and living an American legend.
