Mexico City Blues: 242 Choruses - 9780802162441

Jack Kerouac, who died in 1969 at the age of forty-seven, is renowned as the father of the beat generation. His eighteen internationally acclaimed books -- including On the Road, Doctor Sax, The Subterraneans, and Lonesome Traveler -- were important signpost in a new American literature. Here, in Mexico City Blues, his only collection of poetry, his voice is as distinctive as in his prose; it roams widely across continents and cultures in a restless search for meaning and expression, giving the verse the unique qualities found in America's most distinctive contribution to music.
