Average Rating: [5.0 out of 5 stars]

Reviewer: Searchlight - [5.0 out of 5 stars] - April 7, 2008
Subject: Anne Charters
Her biography of Jack Kerouac is excellent.I read it
maybe twenty years ago.
Jack's 'On the Road' is a classic,'Darma Bums'I think
is his second best book.Read those two and then Charters's biography.His later books are not as good.

Reviewer: Blank - [5.0 out of 5 stars] - February 15, 2005
Subject: thinking as if Keroauc mattered...
Ann is a wonderful appreciative and yet critically minded thinker. She approaches K's method and writings with a scholarly, detailed approach but its only to make it all ring louder. The lecture leans heavily on Tim Hunt's Kerouac's Crooked Road. Enjoy!

0-10: Very tender introduction of Jack and his relevance to Ann and the milieu of dharma bums-era berkeley
9:40 tape Jack reading "now jazz...."
13ish: Ann finishes her biography which is nice to hear- an honest account of someone's relationship with writings and thinkings of beats
20ish: development of bibliographies and AC's writings
30ish: Why it's tough to study Kerouac
42: why Huck Finn and OTR are kin
49: opens it up to other responses
