Description:
Kerouac was at the peak of his fame when this collection of published and unpublished pieces was published. He describes the contents in his inimitable way in the introduction: "Railroad work, sea work, mysticism, mountain work, lasciviousness, solepsism, self-indultence, bullfights, drugs, churches, art museums, streets of cities, a mishmosh of life as lived by an independent educated penniless rake going anywhere."
Drawings by Larry Rivers are interspersed with Kerouac's writings.
This copy is in good condition overall. The dust jacket has some small nicks and tears, otherwise fully intact.
