A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Written between 1957 and two days before his death in 1969, Kerouac's letters tell his own story through his candid and voluminous correspondence to friends and confidants - from Malcolm Cowley Allen Ginsberg to John Clellon Holmes and Sterling Lord. Here, Kerouac explores his development as a writer and reveals how the onslaught of publicity and criticism after the publication of On the Road nearly destroyed him. In the second and final volume of this life-in-letters, Ann Charters, renowned Kerouac biographer, features selected lettters that illuminate the latter years of this iconic writer - the years of fame, alcoholism and disillusionment.
