Documenting his continuing development as a writer and his travels, love affairs, and complicated family life, the letters also reveal Kerouac's amazing courage in the force of criticism and his never-ending quest to be the best writer possible.Jack Kerouac Selected Letters 1957-1969 offers unparalleled insight into the life and mind of this giant of the American landscape.

Recenzii
"Reveals the boldness and originality of Kerouac's artistic vision."
—The Boston Globe
"It remains clear from his later letters that Kerouac understood what he was doing as a writer. He consistently explains his aesthetic, his plan to create the Duluoz Legend of books, and the essentially benign charity of his vision."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Rambunctious and energetic . . . the letters convey the genius of that special American type—the perpetual motion man."
—The Washington Post
"Kerouac's letters and early stories supplement his legend, providing a fuller portrait of a true American original."
