Publisher Notes
Kerouac described this exhilarating story of his years spend writing the books that captivated and infuriated the reading public as "life lived by an independent, educated, penniless rake going anywhere."
Media Reviews
"...[V]intage Kerouac: it is not quite a travel book, nor is it quite fiction; it is again a collection of Kerouac's nerve-ends vs. the universe: it has flashes of poetry, truth, daffiness, lapses of embarrassing writing, and in the end is much more readable than most 183-page books I can think of."
