The prototype of the New Romantic and the New Consciousness, Kerouac prefigured the turned~on, dropped~out, ecstatic wandering hero of the 1960's. Nearly a quarter of a century has passed since the first public furor over Kerouac and his friends, Allen Ginsberg. Neal Cassady and William Burroughs but they are now recognized as the catalysts for an enormous postwar shift in American literature and culture. Kerouac~ "King of the Beats" and unwitting spokesman for one generation's underground~was a complex and compelling man: a man living by Blake's dictum "the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom", a college~educated railroad brakeman in the era of the gray flannel suit, a roughhewn spontaneous writer vilified by the stringent New Critics but beloved to the point of excess by a clamoring public. Surely his life was frenzied, difficult, intense bv any reckoning. Desolate Angel follows Kerouac from his childhood in the mill town of Lowell Massachusetts. to his early years at Columbia, where the meeting of Kerouac, Ginsberg and Cassady began a three~way friendship that became in many ways a lifetime obsession. Their frenetic cross~country journeys, experiments with drugs and sexuality, travels to Mexico and Tangiers, years of failure followed by shallow literary hype are recounted with detail and sensitivity. Dennis McNally spent over six years interviewing evey major figure involved with Kerouac and the Beats, and his painstaking research has yielded an arresting portrait of a man and an artist set against an extraordinary cultural backdrop. The New York jazz scene of the forties, the "beatnik" era as chronicled by the Life and Look of the fifties, the San Francisco poetry renaissance of the sixties~all come luminously to life. Desolate Angel gives us a new appreciation of a time not so long past and a fresh understanding of this enigmatic American figure.…
