Desolate Angel: Jack Kerouac, the Beat Generation, and America
1 journaler for this copy...
The book recounts Kerouac''s frenetic cross-country journeys, his experiments with drugs and sexuality, his travels to Mexico and Tangier, the sudden fame that followed the publication of On the Road, the years of literary triumph, and the final near-decade of frustration and depression.
Desolate Angel follows Kerouac from his childhood in the mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, and his years at Columbia, when he met Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Neal Cassady - a four-way friendship that would become a sociointellectual legend.
