4.0 out of 5 stars The best biography of Kerouac out there, 25 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Memory Babe: A Critical Biography of Jack Kerouac (Paperback)
Memory Babe is probably the most complete Jack Kerouac biography published. Filled to the brim with information about Kerouac and his writing, it also gives the sense that the author had an affinity for Kerouac. This book also differs in that it does not consist of blind hero worship of Kerouac, but reports Kerouac's faults, failures, and in sad fashion, his alcoholism. Even more satisfying is the fact that Nicosia concedes that even Kerouac wrote bad novels once in a while. The only faults in this book are a lack of photos, and occasional continuity screwups, while not severe are annoying. Overall, I repeat my asertion that Memory Babe is the best Jack Kerouac biography published, even better than Ann Charter's biography, Kerouac.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best Kerouac biography., 27 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Memory Babe: A Critical Biography of Jack Kerouac (Paperback)
I've read just about everything that's been published about Kerouac, and while I've yet to read a truly satisfactory Kerouac biography, I think this one's the best, though it should be read along with Ann Charter's almost as good book.
