"Written between 1957, the year of the publication of On the Road, to one day before his death in 1969 at the age of forty-seven, Kerouac's letters tell his own story through his candid and voluminous correspondence to friends, confidants, and editors - from Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, and Malcolm Cowley to Joyce Johnson, Philip Whalen, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. These letters explore Kerouac's development as a writer and document his travels, his love affairs, and his complicated family life as well as reveal how the onslaught of publicity and often hostile criticism after the publication of On the Road literally destroyed him, leading to mental exhaustion and spiritual discouragement. Offering insights into the mind and life of a giant of the American literary landscape, Jack Kerouac Selected Letters 1957-1969 is a contribution to the understanding of the artist and his work."--BOOK JACKET.… (más)

This is one of the saddest books I've ever read. Years ago, I read the first volume, taking us up to 1956. He came across in that book as enthusiastic, motivated to be a great writer, and a good friend. That all changed when 'On the Road' was published, which is when this volume essentially begins. It brought him fame and notoriety but wasn't a financial success. It was the beginning of an eleven year slide into alcoholism (among other vices) and bitterness. Through it all, though, he kept up a spirited correspondence with his agent, Sterling Lord - who I believe only passed away in the last couple of years. And he was quite prolific to his sad end in his output of 'Duluoz Legend' novels. Despite the gloom, still an interesting read. ( )

I'm now up to about the year 1965 and, hooooo boy this is hard to read at times. Emotionally hard, that is ... I guess I knew JK was an alchoholic but you get the full brunt of it here, plus the seemingly endless changes of address to attempt to please himself and 'Memere'. If you ever had the desire to be famous, you might want to read this first. It's yukky.
