Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"With such a wealth of literature concerning Kerouac already in existence, García-Robles doesn’t concentrate on revisiting the facts. Instead, he uses quotes from Kerouac’s fiction to trace his subject’s inner life and place Mexico within the larger context of the famed novelist’s artistic evolution."—Publishers Weekly

"A major addition to the current reevaluation of the Beat Generation."—American Book Review
