This book is a real treat, allowing the voices of Jack Kerouac's friends and lovers to tell his story. Some of these voices belong to the famous (such as Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Gore Vidal) and others are less well known; Jack's boyhood buddies from Lowell, his family priest Father Spike, Luanne Henderson (Neal's first wife) Lucian Carr, John Clellon Holmes, Carolyn Cassady, Gregory Corso. Insightful, as you often hear different perspectives of the same story. Rare photos. Paperback, 339 pages Submit a Review
