Sommario/riassunto

The essays collected in this volume constitute a breakthrough in an understanding of the life and works of Kerouac. Fellow Beats, biographers, critics, poets and scholars write about their views of a man who epitomizes both the American Dream and the French-Canadian experience on this continent. Eight essays in English, eleven in French.
