A stunningly candid autobiographical account of what happened to Kerouac when all the years of boozing finally caught up with him. He's forced to come to grips with his own myth, his own talent and his uncontrollable, unrelenting, self-destructive life. It's a classic Beat novel, an energetic stream of inspiration and a tortured self-portrait of an author who achieved literary immortality with 'On the Road.' A neat, bright copy of one the scarcest UK Kerouac editions. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
