Book summaryThe first part of this book--thinly veiled autobiography--describes Kerouac's months as a fire lookout; the second is taken up with his travels. Media reviews"Desolation Angels explains perhaps even better than the other Kerouac novels what the place of religion may have been in the Beat mystique...Kerouac...defines the sensibilities of members of his own generation...sadly pursuing their empty futilities...." |
