In these uncollected writings Jack Kerouac has left us a portrait of himself in his life. He hitches a ride to San Francisco from Southern California with a beautiful blonde, goes on the road with photographer Robert Frank, rides a bus through the Northwest and Montana, records the blues of an old hobo, talks about the Beats and how it all began, gives his "Essentials of Spontaneous Prose" and defends his novel The Subterraneans., compares Shakespeare and James Joyce, goes to a ball game and a prize fight, and reflects on Céline, on Christmas in New England, on jazz & bop, and tells us what he's thinking about. And in the closing piece, "cityCityCITY," we're treated to Jack's science fiction vision of the future. "Reading now these various pieces, with all their substantial details so characteristic of Jack's work, I think of how particular an how much a part of his way of being with others his attention really was..." – From the Preface by Robert Creeley |
