Description for KEROUAC: THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY by Paul Maher, Jr. with a forword by David Amram:

This is the authoritative biography of legendary writer, poet, and Beat Generation icon Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), whose novel ON THE ROAD catapulted him to the forefront of the literary world and influenced budding writers for generation to come. Here, Paul Maher offers not a linear study of Kerouac's life, but an integrated pastiche of his life and work. He investigates the key relationships that affected his development as an artist, including his three wives, numerous girlfriends, and beloved mother. He also provided insight into Kerouac's spontaneous prose, with its echoes of jazz, in THE SUBTERRANEANS, THE DHARMA BUMS, BIG SUR, DESOLATION ANGELS as well as some of his lesser known works.
