An “indispensable” (
Chicago Tribune
) collection of more than sixty previously unpublished works from Jack Kerouac, ranging from stories and poems to plays and excerpts of novels
“Fascinating . . . provides a poignant picture of a life brimming with promise.”—
The Boston Globe
Before Jack Kerouac expressed the spirit of a generation in his classic
On the Road
, he spent years figuring out how he wanted to live and, above all, learning how to write.
Atop an Underwood
brings together works that Kerouac wrote before he was twenty-two years old, including an excerpt from
The Sea Is My Brother.
These writings reveal what Kerouac was thinking, doing, and dreaming during his formative years and reflect his primary literary influences, including the source of his spontaneous prose style.
Uncovering a fascinating missing link in Kerouac’s development as a writer,
is essential reading for Kerouac fans, scholars, and critics alike.
