A groundbreaking new biography of Jack Kerouac from the author of
the award-winning memoir "Minor Characters"
Joyce Johnson brilliantly peels away layers of the Kerouac legend
in this compelling new book. Tracking Kerouac's development from
his boyhood in Lowell, Massachusetts, through his fateful
encounters with Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Neal Cassady,
and John Clellon Holmes to his periods of solitude and the
phenomenal breakthroughs of 1951 that resulted in his composition
of "On the Road" followed by "Visions of""Cody," Johnson shows how
his French Canadian background drove him to forge a voice that
could contain his dualities and informed his unique outsider's
vision of America. This revelatory portrait deepens our
understanding of a man whose life and work hold an enduring place
in both popular culture and literary history.
