The Sea Is My Brother: The Lost Novel de Jack Kerouac

The Sea Is My Brother: The Lost Novel

Autor Jack Kerouac
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mar 2013
In the spring of 1943, during a stint in the Merchant Marine, twenty-one-year old Jack Kerouac set out to write his first novel. Working diligently day and night to complete it by hand, he titled it The Sea Is My Brother. Now, nearly seventy years later, its long-awaited publication provides fascinating details and insight into the early life and development of an American literary icon.

Written seven years before The Town and The City officially launched his writing career, The Sea Is My Brother marks a pivotal point in which Kerouac began laying the foundations for his pioneering method and signature style. A clear precursor to such landmark works as On the Road, The Dharma Bums, and Visions of Cody, it is an important formative work that bears all the hallmarks of classic Kerouac: the search for spiritual meaning in a materialistic world, spontaneous travel as the true road to freedom, late nights in bars and apartments engaged in intense conversation, the desperate urge to escape from society, and the strange, terrible beauty of loneliness.

Recenzii


Kirkus Reviews, 2/1/12

“A Jack London–esque yarn.”

Publishers Weekly, 1/30/12

“While it may not be the Rosetta Stone of the beat movement, the publication of this flawed manuscript will be an event for [Kerouac's] admirers.”

Booklist, 3/1/12

“Read this first effort to watch Kerouac learning the ropes.”

 
Entertainment Weekly, 3/2/12
“You'll see hints of the bebop prose that would later pour out of Kerouac's typewriter so effortlessly.”
 

Cleveland Plain Dealer, 3/11/12
“Rarely does talking seem as much like action as it does inThe Sea Is My Brother. The characters' words fire the imagination. If they don't move you, to quote Louis Jordan, ‘Jack, you dead'…There is a song insideThe Sea Is My Brother, a song for anyone who has ever looked over the horizon and thought, ‘I'm gonna get out of here someday.'”
 
TampaBayTimes, 3/11/12

“For a glimpse of Kerouac crossing the boundary from boy to man, fans can now turn to his first novel.”
 

Wall Street Journal, 3/20/12
“[The Sea Is My Brother] offers plenty of disarming insights into who Kerouac was as a person and writer before he slipped behind the mask of Beat Generation Zen-master...The book is enjoyable”
 
Litreactor.com, 3/20/12
“The Sea is My Brotheris a fascinating read, both in its own right and as part of Kerouac's canon.”
 
New YorkPost, 3/18/12
“There are plenty of hints of the Kerouac to come.”
 
Blurt-Online, 3/12/12
“[The Sea is My Brother] is perhaps the best of the posthumous releases....Could be considered the skeleton that would become gems."
Huffington Post, 3/23/12

“Fans of theOn the Roadauthor will be fascinated by the glimpse into Kerouac's early writing mind.”


January Magazine, 3/22/12
“For his admirers and students of his style, the book is a worthwhile read.”
 
National Post(Canada), 3/25/12

“A foreshadowing of Kerouac at his best, a kind of sweet, unassuming persona that made his writing very engaging.”
