This is the second printing hardcover. The hardcover is now Out of Print (OP). The series is, by the way, edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli. This particular copy has a remainder mark on the bottom text-block edge. ******************************************* From the jacket blurb : "UNDERSTANDING JACK KEROUAC introduces a new generation of readers to what Matt Theado calls Kerouac's 'unwieldy accretion of published work . Fiction, poetry, nonfiction, selected letters, religious writing, and 'true story novels.' Presenting this cultural icon of the Beat Generation primarily as a writer than as a social rebel or media celebrity, Theado elucidates the reasons Kerouac's reputation has outlived disparaging beatnik associations and why his recently published works have attracted an expanded readership." Theado takes a book-by-book approach to the sometimes confusing canon and develops a framework for understanding Kerouac's thematic concerns, writing techniques, and artistic evolution." ***************************************** SERIES : Understanding Contemporary American Literature / SERIES EDITOR : Matthew J.

Paperback. Condition: NEUF. "De Kerouac, on a surtout lu Sur la route et Les Clochards célestes, mais on connaît peu The Town and the City. C'est pourtant le premier roman de Kerouac, publié en 1950, celui qui annonce l'inspiration fabuleuse d'un auteur prolifique.The Town, c'est en fait Galloway (Massachusetts), petite ville de tisserands où s'écoule une existence mi-rurale, mi-citadine, celle de la famille Martin, unie par l'affection mais surtout soucieuse de faire durer les bonheurs fragiles - le cidre qu'on boit au gallon, le chahut des polkas, et l'émoi des premières tendresses, sous les feuillées tremblantes. The City, le New York des années 1940, en est la figure d'opposition, où le jeune Peter Martin entamera sa carrière de footballeur tout en découvrant l'ébullition de la vie urbaine, mais aussi la fureur poétique - le roman retrace l'émergence prometteuse de la Beat Generation, chacun des personnages de la city incarnant un adepte du mouvement : Leon Levinsky est Allen Ginsberg, Kenneth Wood est Lucien Carr, Will Dennison campe William Burroughs. Il faut relire The Town and the City, ce roman sur lequel Kerouac a planché de 1946 à 1948, qui dépeint avec une gaieté triste, comme s'il s'agissait d'une civilisation vouée à disparaître, la beauté brute des cols bleus, la force de leurs traditions et de leur musique folk."

Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was an American novelist and poet, who, alongside William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, was a pioneer of the Beat Generation. This is his first published novel, "The Town and the City," and it is highly autobiographical. Inspired by his idol, Thomas Wolfe, Kerouac explores the emotional territory of his boyhood through the five sons and three daughters of the Martin family. Growing up in a dying Massachusetts mill town, the young Martins must come to terms with their bankruptcy and WWII. Kerouac's own portrait is apparent in three of the sons: Joe, the wild risk taker; Francis, the intellectual and cynic; and Peter, the football player and independent thinker. A reading copy of Jack Kerouac's first novel; he still goes by "John Kerouac" at this point in his life.
