Poetry, notes, prose fragments and inspired photography, written at
a whim, illuminated by reverie, all bound together in one volume as
a recollection of meditation and timelessness.
Fueled by coffee and pea soup, Jack Kerouac speed-typed "On the
Road" in just three weeks in April 1951. He'd been traveling
America for the past ten years and now, at last, the furious energy
of his experiences flowed through his fingertips in a mad rush,
pealing forth on a makeshift scroll that he laboriously taped
together. The "On the Road scroll" has since become literary
legend, and now "Burning Furiously Beautiful" sets the record
straight, uncovering, among other things, the true story behind one
of America's greatest novels. "Burning Furiously Beautiful"
explores the real lives of the key characters of the novel. Ride
along on the real-life adventures through 1940s America that
inspired "On the Road." By tracing the evolution of Kerouac's
literary development and revealing his startlingly original writing
style, this book explains how it took years-not weeks-to ultimately
write the seemingly sporadic 1957 novel, "On the Road."
