Jack Kerouac, who died in 1969 at the age of forty-seven, is renowned as the father of the "beat generation." His eighteen internationally acclaimed books -- including "On the Road, Doctor Sax, The Subterraneans," and "Lonesome Traveler" -- were important signpost in a new American literature. Here, in "Mexico City Blues," his only collection of poetry, his voice is as distinctive as in his prose; it roams widely across continents and cultures in a restless search for meaning and expression, giving the verse the unique qualities found in America's most distinctive contribution to music.Jack Kerouac is the author of 'Mexico City Blues' with ISBN 9780394172873 and ISBN 0394172876.
