Book Synopsis

Set off on the eternal trail of the Beat experience in the city that inspired many of Jack Kerouac''s best-loved novels including On the Road, Vanity of Duluoz, The Town and the City, and Desolation Angels. This is the ultimate guide to Kerouac''s New York, packed with photos of the Beat Generation and filled with undercover information and little-known anecdotes.

Eight easy-to-follow walking tours guide you to:

Greenwich Village bars and cafés where Kerouac and his friends Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, William Burroughs, Diane di Prima, Gregory Corso, Hettie and LeRoi Jones, John Clellon Holmes, Joyce Johnson, and others read poetry, drank, turned-on, and talked all night long.

The Chelsea-district apartment where Jack wrote On the Road.

Midtown clubs where Beat poets mingled with artists Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning and listened to jazz and blues greats Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Billie Holiday.
