This informative companion volume traces Kerouac's tumultuous and often traumatic journey from his working-class boyhood in Lowell, Massachusetts, to New York City, where he, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs would become the fathers of the Beat movement. Drawing on journals, diaries, manuscripts, and typescripts in the Jack Kerouac Archive of The New York Public Library's Berg Collection - material never before seen by the general public, and only a very few items of which have been seen even by scholars. Beatific Soul explores Kerouac's evolution as a writer and his spiritual passage from Christianity to Buddhism and back again.
Illustrated throughout with more than 125 reproductions of diaries, journals, typescripts, and paintings by Kerouac, as well as family photographs and striking portraits of Kerouac and his contemporaries, Beatific Soul is a fitting tribute to its subject on the fiftieth anniversary of his pioneering and best-known work.
Hardcover, 208 pages.
