xii+339 pages with photographs, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter grey cloth with gilt lettering to spine over beige boards in original pictorial Jacket. First edition. Jack's Book gives us an intimate look into the life and times of the "King of the Beats." Through the words of the close friends, lovers, artists, and drinking buddies who survived him, writers Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee recount Jack Kerouac's story, from his childhood in Lowell, Massachusetts, to his tragic end in Florida at the age of forty-seven. Including anecdotes from an eclectic list of well-known figures such as Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Gore Vidal, as well as Kerouac's ordinary acquaintances, this groundbreaking oral biography—the first of its kind—presents us with a remarkably insightful portrait of an American legend and the spirit of a generation.

Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 339 pages; Description: 339 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Subjects: Kerouac, Jack (1922-1969) --Authors, American --20th century --Biography. Notes: Includes index and bibliography: p. 333-334. Summary: Here, in what has become a classic of its kind since its publication in 1978, is the fascinating story of Jack Kerouac, "King of the Beats" and American literary legend, recorded through the voices of his friends and lovers. Authors Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee retraced Kerouac's life at home and on the road and talked with the prophets, musicians, poets, socialites, and working people who knew Jack Kerouac. Some are famous like Allen Ginsberg, Gore Vidal, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder, among others; and some are not like Jack's boyhood buddies, his lovers, and his barroom companions. All, however, have contributed to a remarkably vibrant, riveting portrait of a life. We see Jack at Columbia University and on the scene of Greenwich Village; speeding across the tarmac of America with Neal Cassidy ("Dan Moriarty" in Kerouac's classic novel, On the Road) ; at home with his possessive mother; in California, drinking wine and talking Buddhism; and finally, in Florida, where his life ends tragically ...
