Jack Kerouac, the parent of the hippie movement, the James Dean of spontaneous prose covering subjects such as Catholic spirituality, jazz, promiscuity, Buddhism, drugs, poverty, and travel.
He was idolized by a generation for his alternative thinking and providing the young people of the time something other than the utter boredom they were living amongst. As often happens with such reactionary artists though, the excesses of his lifestyle slowly destroyed him and it was only later that the resurgence in his works has emerged.
This book is a biography of Kerouac, told through various associates and a large number of excellent photographs.
