-**The
Los
Angeles
TimesNow
that
Kerouac's
major
novel,
On
the
Road
is
accepted
as
an
American
classic,
academic
critics
are
slowly
beginning
to
catch
up
with
his
experimental
literary
style
and
examine
the
dozen
books
comprising
what
he
called
'the
legend
of
Duluoz.'
Nearly
all
of
his
books
have
been
in
print
internationally
since
his
death
in
1969,
and
his
writing
has
been
discovered
and
enjoyed
by
new
readers
throughout
the
world.
Kerouac's
view
of
the
promise
of
America,
the
seductive
and
lovely
vision
of
the
beckoning
open
spaces
of
our
continent,
has
never
been
expressed
better
by
subsequent
writers,
perhaps
because
Kerouac
was
our
last
writer
to
believe
in
America's
promise—and
essential
innocence—as
the
legacy
he
would
explore
in
his
autobiographical
fiction.“It
is
about
men
and
ideas
that
changed
everything.
That's
reason
enough
to
read
it.”
-The
New
York
Times“Behind
the
'crazy
rebel'
of
the
novels
who
inspired
a
whole
generation
to
go
hitchhiking
across
America
in
search
of
'the
myth
of
the
rainy
night'
lay
a
life
of
insecurity
and
wretched
loneliness
.
.
.
a
duality
perceptively
illustrated
by
Ann
Charters
in
her
lucid,
well-researched
biography.”
