Jack Kerouac
From famed Beat writer Jack Kerouac comes a collection of essays and stories compiled from journal entries he made during his travels.
In his first autobiographical work, Jack Kerouac reveals exhilarating stories of the years he spent traveling, while writing his acclaimed novels. His journeys took him from California deserts crisscrossed by train tracks to the bullfights of Mexico to the Beat nightlife of New York City and across the Atlantic to Paris, Morocco, and London.
He also writes about relationship, jobs, and the nature of life on the road. Here are echoes of landscapes that appear in some of his novels, including The Dharma Bums and Desolation Angels.
Included here are “Piers of a Homeless Night,” “Mexico Fellaheen,” “The Railroad Earth,” “Slobs of the Kitchen Sea,” “New York Scenes,” “Alone on a Mountaintop,” “Big Trip to Europe,” and “The Vanishing American Hobo.” All feature his distinctive exuberant style of prose. This collection, first published together in 1960, is a unique addition to Kerouac’s body of work.
