    Extractions: Kerouac, Jack (1922-1969) The bisexual Jack Kerouac omitted references to his homosexuality from his otherwise autobiographical works.

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.

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.

    Extractions: Climb on your scooter The apartment (formerly Max Ernst's) is a four-flight walk-up, and I galloped up the first two landings with a heart aflutter because for me this was like going to interview Beethoven. "Slow down now", came a smiling voice from high up, and in a moment there he was, erect, twinkling-eyed 72 among cartons and crates. "We're moving", said Marcel Duchamp, the living legend. I asked him where? "To a warehouse," the artist said. "We're going to Europe for five months". I asked him what he felt was his most worthwhile work. "The Glass" he said, that being his private name for the painting "The Bride Striped Bare by Her Bachelors Even" a famous painting in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Glass shows no direct influence. In 1948 Jack Kerouac meets John Clellon Holmes and the term beat generation is invented.

95. James Wechsler Vs. Kerouac - "The Age Of Unthink"
    This chapter from James Wechsler's Reflections of an Angry MiddleAged Editor records Wechler's frustrating confrontation with jack kerouac in 1958.

    Extractions: Note: This chapter from James Wechsler's "Reflections of an Angry Middle-Aged Editor" records Wechler's frustrating confrontation with Jack Kerouac in 1958. Other chapters of the book) are entitled, "Is Everybody Happy?", "The Liberal Retreat," and "Life Of a Salesman." TWO SEPARATE episodes inspired the reflections that led to the writing of this book, and perhaps it is appropriate to begin by recalling them. On the evening of November 6, 1958, I took part in a symposium on the Beat Generation at Hunter College. The event, if it may be so described, was sponsored by Brandeis University; the other participants were Jack Kerouac , author of On the Road and self-proclaimed voice of the Beat Generation; Kingsley Amis, the talented, witty British writer who admits to being neither young nor angry but has been so labeled on two continents; and Professor Ashley Montagu, the noted anthropologist. I almost missed the meeting, proving that books, like other productions, are prey to the accident of history. It occurred just two days after the state elections of that year; I was still tired, if not beat, and the prospect of a long evening of recitation and listening seemed less congenial than, say, watching a basketball game at Madison Square Garden. But I had a certain curiosity about Kerouac, whom I had never seen, and about the subject, which I had heard discussed with increasing frequency and earnestness by my son (then sixteen) and some of his friends. In fact I had begun to feel out of touch. So, though ill-prepared to deliver a speech (and even less prepared for what happened), I reached the auditorium a few moments after Kerouac had begun what turned out to be a forty-minute rendition, and there was more than one reprise.

    An article about jack kerouac and his work On the Road. The writer writes from a angle of personal enlightenment.  
    http://www.literarytraveler.com/kerouac/jackkerouac.htm
    
    Extractions: In 1957, Jack Kerouac, a French Canadian kid from the mill-town of Lowell, Massachusetts, published his second novel , On the Road , and became an instant celebrity. The book would become a stone thrown into a cultural lake whose ripple would grow to Tsunami proportions and wash across the American landscape. Forty years after its publication, in the summer of 1997, my buddy Dave Robinson and I packed up all we knew of life in the back of a black Ford Bronco and left our home town for the west destiny highway. We burned out of town, leaving behind the worn bar brass polish of the Gaelic Club, the grease and bacon smell of Arthur’s Diner, the glory-day field of Cawley Stadium, and the heavy worn redbrick faces of the mills that always tempt to pull the world down into the sad black Merrimack canals. We burned out of Lowell. Kerouac’s hometown. Our hometown. Bouncing between route and interstates we wound across the open roads of the continental U.S. Some weeks later, near Broadway and Columbus, in San Francisco, outside "Vesuvio’s" and "City Lights Books", we stood in front of the little alley known as "Jack Kerouac Street." Our journey had been much inspired by Kerouac’s writing.
