Originally subtitled "An Adventurous Education, 1935-1946," Vanity
of Duluoz is a key volume in Jack Kerouac's lifework, the series of
autobiographical novels he referred to as The Legend of Duluoz.
With the same tender humor and intoxicating wordplay he brought to
his masterpieces On the Road and The Dharma Bums, Kerouac takes his
alter ego from the football fields of small-town New England to the
playing fields and classrooms of Horace Mann and Columbia, out to
sea on a merchant freighter plying the sub-infested waters of the
North Atlantic during World War II, and back to New York, where his
friends are the writers who would one day become known as the Beat
generation and where he published his first novel.
Written in 1967 from the vantage point ot the psychedelic
sixties, Vanity of Duluoz gives a fascinating portrait of the young
Kerouac, dedicated and disciplined in his determination from an
early age to be an important American writer.
