内容説明
The first biography of Jack Kerouac to portray fully the intense inner life that inspired his work -- by his last editor, the biographer Ellis Amburn<p>Drawing upon original interviews and his own relationship with Kerouac, Ellis Amburn has revealed an inner Kerouac who has not appeared in any previous biography, a man torn by his conflicting desires and beliefs.<p>Born to a poor, alcoholic father and a devoutly Catholic mother, Kerouac always struggled with poverty, his drinking, and his doubts about his own lifestyle of substance abuse, indolence, and promiscuity.<p>Perhaps the greatest of Kerouac's conflicts centered around his sexual relationships with men. While other biographers have only hinted at Kerouac's experiences with men, Amburn addresses these directly, and sheds a new light on their profound impact on a man who remained convinced until his death that his homosexuality was in fact immoral.<p>Deeply insightful, refreshing, and certainly controversial, Subterranean Kerouac is a necessary book for any Kerouac fan or scholar.
