While a legend has developed about the man Jack Kerouac, there has not been a thorough study of what he wrote. This is the first book to explore his place in American literature by establishing the total design of his work. Regina Weinreich contends that Kerouac wrote with this “grand design” in mind: that he thought of his works as “one vast book” a “Divine Comedy of Buddha” that he called The Legend of Duluoz. The nature of Kerouac’s “spontaneous bop prosody” is discussed in relation to the work of Thomas Wolfe and Henry Miller. Kerouac compared his “loose style” to tha

Audacious, independent, and fiercely intelligent, Lillian Roxon cut her teeth as a reporter in the lively world of 1950s tabloid journalism. Her rapid success soon saw her interviewing stars like Rock Hudson and Richard Burton. She moved to New York City in the 1960s, just in time for a cultural revolution that celebrated youth, sexual freedom, women’s liberation—and, of course, rock ’n’ roll. In New York, Lillian was the universally acknowledged queen of Max’s Kansas City, one of the greatest nightspots ever. It was the club where Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, Janis

Thirty years after its original publication and twenty-nine years after it became Peter Bogdanovich’s Academy Award-winning film, Joe David Brown’s last novel seems, more than ever, an American classic. Addie Pray, PAPER MOON’s eleven-year-old heroine and narrator, is one of the most unforgettable characters in all of fiction, and certainly one of the most beloved. Set in the darkest days of the Great Depression, Paper Moon is the story of what happens when Addie’s mother is killed in a car crash, leaving her daughter in the questionable hands of Long Boy, a con-man who may or may n

John Twist, gunslinger, prowls a landscape that is a weird mix of Wild West and science fiction pulp tales. In the aftermath of the Venusians’ arrival on Earth in the 1950s, a "psychogeographic event" occurs, separating the old Wild West from the rest of the planet. There, Boot Hill and Tombstone are alive as they once were, without the interference of modern technology. Twist must fend off the advances of Miss Viva Venera, a Venusian necrobabe, as well as the more murderous designs of the sinister Sexton. In the meantime, the United States will need some good old Venusian know-how in or
