The first volume of Jack Kerouac's selected letters, published in
1995, was hailed as an important and revealing addition to Kerouac
scholarship. This second and final volume, comprising letters
written between 1957, the year On the Road was published, and the
day before his death in 1969 at age forty-seven, tells Kerouac's
life story through his candid correspondence with friends,
confidants, and editors--among them Allen Ginsberg, William
Burroughs, Philip Whalen, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Joyce Johnson, and
Malcolm Cowley. Documenting his continuing development as a writer
and his travels, love affairs, and complicated family life, the
letters also reveal Kerouac's amazing courage in the force of
criticism and his never-ending quest to be the best writer
possible.
Jack Kerouac Selected Letters 1957-1969 offers unparalleled
insight into the life and mind of this giant of the American
landscape.
