About the book

A unique biography of Jack Kerouac, which gives a greater understanding of the 'King of the Beats' by exploring the lives of the five people who knew him best: his daughter (Jan Kerouac), wives (Edie Parker, Joan Haverty, Stella Sampas) and nephew (Paul Blake, Jr). Not one of these people seem to have benefited from the connection, as the late Jan Kerouac amply demonstrates in her interview with the author. She discusses at length her 15 months as a prostitute, her own marital problems, her hospitalization, and her life as a writer, including a wild book tour for Baby Driver.
