The Times (London)
"The first clear development of the American romantic prose since Hemingway, Kerouac's writing is full of mad sex, comedy, wide-screen travel writing, and longlyrical evocatins of American childhood and adolescent memories."
From the Publisher
Praise for Jack Kerouac and The Subterraneans:
“Kerouac’s work represents the most extensive experiment in language and literary form undertaken by an American writer of his generation.”—Ann Douglas
“A book of raw power and awesome beauty.”—San Francisco Examiner
“Each book by Kerouac is unique, a telepathic discord. Such rich, natural writing is nonpareil in the later twentieth century.”—Allen Ginsberg
“An outsider in America, Jack Kerouac was a true original.”—Ann Charters
“There is no doubt about [Kerouac’s] great sensitivity to language. His sentences frequently move into tempestuous sweeps and whorls and sometimes they have something of the rich music of Gerard Manley Hopkins or Dylan Thomas.”—New York Herald Tribune
“The first clear development of the American Romantic prose since Hemingway, Kerouac’s writing is full of mad sex, comedy, wide-screen travel writing, and long lyrical evocations of American childhood and adolescent memories.”—Times (UK)
