Jack Kerouac

Primero estuvo en 1952, para visitar a su amigo William Burroughs.

Jack Duluoz (Kerouac) ha publicado una novela ( En el camino ) que ha alcanzado un gran éxito, pero la fama es como una fiera que lo devora.

Passionate, playful, ecstatic, filled with humor, insight, beautiful language, sorrow, and struggle, Some of the Dharma is a far-ranging and extremely revealing work.

Book of Blues is an exuberant foray into language and consciousness, rich with imagery, propelled by rhythm, and based in a reverent attentiveness to the moment.

This collection shows Jack Kerouac at his earnest, soulful best. The writing is consistently and wonderfully Kerouacian: it is honest, reflective, heartfelt, and revealing, with great characterizations amid his self-exploration as he wrestles with his consciousness, desperate for belief.

Just as he upended the conventions of the novel with On the Road, Jack Kerouac revolutionized American poetry in this ingenious collection.

Jack Kerouac’s last published work is an endearing portrayal of brotherhood and the classic American road trip adventure, viewed through the eyes of a young boy.
