More Information
Jack Kerouac, Jean Louis Lebris de Kerouac, was born on 12th
March 1922 in Massachusetts USA. He lived in a French Canadian community and
excelled at sports during his college years. In 1942 he joined the Navy but was
totally unsuited to the discipline and in 1943 feigned insanity in order to get
discharged. His foray into writing brought him into contact with Willima
Burroughs, Ginsberg, Corso and Lucien Carr, all of whom were formative in the
Beat movement. His private life was turbulent to say the least, the frantic life
gave rise to his best known book On the Road, the epitome of the Beat Culture.
Much has been written of his life and exploits which finally caught up with him
in 1969 when he died of liver failure.
