Help Search: Biography of Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) Jack Kerouac Jack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1922 as Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac, the son of Qu©b©cois parents who were part of a mass migration to New England in the search for employment. The youngest of three children, he witnessed the premature death of his brother, Gerard, an event that profoundly affected him and later moved him to write Visions of Gerard in 1956. As a child, Kerouac attended Catholic and public schools, ultimately receiving a football scholarship to Columbia University in New York City. It was there that Kerouac would meet the other "original" members of the Beat Generation-Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and Neal Cassady. At one point, Burroughs and Kerouac got into trouble with the law during college for failing to report a murder. In his sophomore year of college, Jack Kerouac got into a dispute with his football coach and ultimately quit school to join the Merchant Marine. He was soon discharged for being of "indifferent disposition." It was at this point that Kerouac began to drift about the country. In 1950 he published his first novel, The Town and the City , which earned him moderate respect. But it was his second novel, the wildly experimental

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Kerouac, Jack (1922-1969) The bisexual Jack Kerouac omitted references to his homosexuality from his otherwise autobiographical works. Kerouac, born Jean-Louis Kerouac in Lowell, Massachusetts, on March 12, 1922, was the third child of a working-class, French-Canadian family. Kerouac did not speak English until attending parochial school at the age of six, the French-Canadian dialect Joual being his primary language. Sponsor Message. In 1926, Kerouac's older brother Gerard died of rheumatic fever. Gerard's death had a profound effect on the young Kerouac, initiating his lifelong search for the meaning of life and death, which would become the main theme of his writing. Kerouac moved to New York City in 1939, where he attended Horace Mann Prep School for a year before going on to Columbia University via a football scholarship. Leaving Columbia in 1942, Kerouac joined the merchant marines and sailed to Greenland. He then enlisted in the U.S. Navy but was discharged on psychiatric grounds. Through his first wife, Edie Parker, Kerouac met Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs in 1944. In 1946, Neal Cassady became involved with their group, and the nucleus of the Beat Generation was created. It was with Cassady that Kerouac took to the road. They in effect created the lifestyle that would become the model for the "Beat way of life." It combined a rejection of responsibility and of what they saw as bankrupt bourgeois American culture with a search for a life-affirming spirituality.

68. Jack Kerouac's Big Sur jack kerouac at Big Sur. Personal perspective and quotes from Big Sur. http://www.angelfire.com/or/rainblessed/BigSur.html

Jack Kerouac's Big Sur "I am a language spinner..." Kerouac in Big Sur Towering cliffs, fog-banked canyon, roaring surf and the little cabin near the meadow and creek: Jack Kerouac went to Big Sur to escape his clamorous fans and the resulting circus of his life in Long Island. He went for peace and to write a poem about the sea sounds, a kind of Beat Jazz Serenade of Nature. Briefly, among premonitions of madness, he found a gentle peace. Although Jack loves people and long talks, his new fame is incredibly stressful. As much as he enjoys rollicking orgies of booze and conversation, it seems to pull him down into mornings-after of despair. "...Drunken visitors puking in my study, stealing books and even pencils ...Me drunk practically all the time to put on a jovial cap to keep up with all this but finally realizing I was surrounded and out numbered and had to get away to solitude again or die" I wake up drunk, sick, disgusted, frightened, in fact terrified by that sad song across the roofs mingling with the lachrymose cries of a Salvation Army meeting on the corner below " Satan is the cause of your alcoholism

73. Desolation Peak - Jack Kerouac's Lookout jack kerouac spent the summer of 1956 as a fire lookout on Desolation Peak, in North Cascades National Park.. http://www.geocities.com/phoffman3/desolation/

Jack Kerouac spent 63 days during the summer of 1956 as a fire lookout on Desolation Peak, in North Cascades National Park. He wrote about his experiences in the books "The Dharma Bums" and "Desolation Angels". The lookout is a 14' x 14' structure built in 1933 and remains active under the National Park Service. The trail to the lookout is 7 miles one way from Ross Lake. You can either hike 13 miles to the trail head or arrange for boat transportation from the Ross Lake Resort. I gladly paid for the boat. >>>Click here for more information about the trail. I hiked to the lookout and found it a very rewarding experience. The lookout that summer was a Kerouac enthusiast who said many of the items in the lookout were there when Jack was a lookout. It was very special to sit where Jack had, and see first hand what he had written about. I hope you can take the same journey someday. Pete Hoffman The following passages are from "The Dharma Bums" and "Desolation Angels". "There she is!" yelled Happy and in the swirled-across top-of-the-world fog I saw a funny little peaked almost Chinese cabin among the little pointy firs and boulders standing on a bald rock top surrounded by snowbanks and patches of wet grass with tiny flowers.
