Review:

"[Miles's] mastery of Beat Generation know-how must surely be unrivalled." (Sunday Telegraph)

"Thorough and enthralling ... An excellent portrait." (Mail on Sunday)

"Compelling and honest." (The Times)

From the Publisher:

Jack Kerouac is an icon, an image, an attitude and one of the twentieth century's most influential writers, but he was also a man who was rarely at peace with himself. Barry Miles was friends with many of the Beat Generation and has completely updated this detailed but immensely readable portrait of a complex man to include the sale of the Kerouac archive to the New York public library in 2001.
