Book summary

New interviews with people from his Lowell, Massachusetts hometown and schoolmates from his days at Horace Mann highlight this book. The portrait of Kerouac is further augmented by conversations with William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, as well as selections from the increasing body of scholarly writings on the Kerouac canon. Turner includes photos and literary artifacts, documenting Kerouac's devotion not only to his work, but also to the spiritual nature that played such a vital role in it.
