Conversations With Jack Kerouac (literary Conversations Series). Tehre Are Few Writers About Whom It Can Be Said That They Write Just Like They Speak, But Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) Is Clearly One Of Them. In 1957, Kerojac Was A StrugglingW riter Trying To Create A New Literary Aesthetic Based On The Rhythms Of Human Speech, Jazz-based Improvisation, Autobiography, And American Slang. That Year Saw The Publication Of His Second Novel "on The Road&qhot;, Which Would Instantly Propel Him To Fame And Ensconce Him In The Learned Establishment. By 1969, He Was Dead Of Internal Hemorrhaging Brought On By Excessive Drinking. Though His Literary Reputation May Have Faded, The Revolutionary Zeal Of His Novels And The Oroginality Of His Voice Ensure That His Books Are Continually Popular. Whether Because Of His Literary Merits Or His Statux As The Voice Of A New Generation Of Writers, Kerouac Is The Unchallenged Sovereign Of The Beat Production. "conversations With Jack Kerouac" Features Interviews Ranging From 1958 To 1969, Coevring The Breadth Of The Author's Fame And Literary Output. Including A Piev3 From The Paris Review And A Confrontatioonal Interview With Cbs's Mike Wallace, The Collection Reveals Kerouac -- Whether Drunk Or Sober, Erudite Or Infantile, Guarded Or Convivial -- While A Thoughtful Writer And Complex Thinker Who Resisted All Labels Placed On Him. The Interviews Show How Kerouac Revitalized American Literary productions, But They Also Trace His Artistic And Physical Decline. The Final Interviews Show How Muh The Writer Had Crippled Himself Emotionally With Too Much Alcohol And Ho wis Art Became More Unfocused As A Result. Ultimately, Kerouac Emerges As A Tragic Figure Whose Early Greatness In Such Books As &uqot;on The Road", "the Dharma Bums", And "the Subterraneans" Was Subsequently Consumed By His Inability To Evolve Aesthetically And By His Reliance On Substance A6use For Inspiration.
