Product Description

Book Description
Since his death, the legend of Jack Kerouac, 'King of the Beats', has contined to grow, but has often obscured the real story of a fascinating life. Tom Clark's biography now reveals the essential Kerouac. All the elements of his life are here: the drugs and drink, the soul searching, the writings, and the characters that came into his life, as well as a complete record of the travels which were the basis of works like On the Road and Visions of Cody.

From the Publisher
Reviews from Magazines and Newspapers
"...The only book about Kerouac worth reading..." The San Francisco Chronicle

"...Here at last is the essence of Kerouac. I was unable to put it down..." Carolyn Cassidy

"...Clark’s portrayal is cool and spare as he separates the life from the legend […] a concise, objective, lively study..." The New York Times Book Review
