About Jack’s Book: An Oral Biography of Jack Kerouac

Here, in what has become a classic of its kind since its publication in 1978, is the fascinating story of Jack Kerouac, and “King of the Beats and ” and American literary legend, recorded through the voices of his friends and lovers. Authors Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee retraced Kerouac’s life at home and on the road and talked with the prophets, musicians, poets, socialites, and working people who knew Jack Kerouac. Some are famous like Allen Ginsberg, Gore Vidal, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder, among others; and some are not like Jack’s boyhood buddies, his lovers, and his barroom companions. All, however, have contributed to a remarkably vibrant, riveting portrait of a life. We see Jack at Columbia University and on the scene of Greenwich Village; speeding across the tarmac of America with Neal Cassidy ( and “Dan Moriarty and ” in Kerouac’s classic novel, On the Road); at home with his possessive mother; in California, drinking wine and talking Buddhism; and finally, in Florida, where his life ends tragically at forty-seven years old. Jack’s Book, like Kerouac’s novels, makes a unique contribution to our understanding of a man and a generation that shaped the dreams and visions of those who followed.
