Born on March 12, 1922, in Lowell, Massachusetts, Jack Kerouac's writing career began in the 1940s, but didn't meet with commercial success until 1957, when On the Road was published. The book became an American classic that defined the Beat Generation. Kerouac died on October 21, 1969, from an abdominal hemorrhage, at age 47.

Early Life

Famed writer Jack Kerouac was born Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac on March 12, 1922, in Lowell, Massachusetts. A thriving mill town in the mid-19th century, Lowell had become, by the time of Jack Kerouac's birth, a down-and-out burg where unemployment and heavy drinking prevailed. Kerouac's parents, Leo and Gabrielle, were immigrants from Quebec, Canada; Kerouac learned to speak French at home before he learned English at school. Leo Kerouac owned his own print shop, Spotlight Print, in downtown Lowell, and Gabrielle Kerouac, known to her children as Memere, was a homemaker. Kerouac later described the family's home life: "My father comes home from his printing shop and undoes his tie and removes [his] 1920s vest, and sits himself down at hamburger and boiled potatoes and bread and butter, and with the kiddies and the good wife."

Jack Kerouac endured a childhood tragedy in the summer of 1926, when his beloved older brother Gerard died of rheumatic fever at the age of 9. Drowning in grief, the Kerouac family embraced their Catholic faith more deeply. Kerouac's writing is full of vivid memories of attending church as a child: "From the open door of the church warm and golden light swarmed out on the snow. The sound of the organ and singing could be heard."

Kerouac's two favorite childhood pastimes were reading and sports. He devoured all the 10-cent fiction magazines available at the local stores, and he also excelled at football, basketball and track. Although Kerouac dreamed of becoming a novelist and writing the "great American novel," it was sports, not writing, that Kerouac viewed as his ticket to a secure future. With the onset of the Great Depression, the Kerouac family suffered from financial difficulties, and Kerouac's father turned to alcohol and gambling to cope. His mother took a job at a local shoe factory to boost the family income, but, in 1936, the Merrimack River flooded its banks and destroyed Leo Kerouac's print shop, sending him into a spiral of worsening alcoholism and condemning the family to poverty. Kerouac, who was, by that time, a star running back on the Lowell High School football team, saw football as his ticket to a college scholarship, which in turn might allow him to secure a good job and save his family's finances.

Upon graduating from high school in 1939, Kerouac received a football scholarship to Columbia University, but first he had to attend a year of preparatory school at the Horace Mann School for Boys in Brooklyn. So, at the age of 17, Kerouac packed his bags and moved to New York City, where he was immediately awed by the limitless new experiences of big city life. Of the many wonderful new things Kerouac discovered in New York, and perhaps the most influential on his life, was jazz. He described the feeling of walking past a jazz club in Harlem: "Outside, in the street, the sudden music which comes from the nitespot fills you with yearning for some intangible joy—and you feel that it can only be found within the smoky confines of the place." It was also during his year at Horace Mann that Kerouac first began writing seriously. He worked as a reporter for the Horace Mann Record, and published short stories in the school's literary magazine, the Horace Mann Quarterly.

The following year, in 1940, Kerouac began his freshman year as a football player and aspiring writer at Columbia University. However, he broke his leg in one of his first games and was relegated to the sidelines for the rest of the season. Although his leg had healed, Kerouac's coach refused to let him play the next year, and Kerouac impulsively quit the team and dropped out of

说起《达摩流浪者》就不能不提《在路上》,这两本指南针一般的书,为克鲁亚克在美国文学史上留下了不可磨灭的丰碑!也在“垮掉的一代”的心里刻下了的最为浓重一笔! 记得当年读《在路上》正是反叛自由颠覆生活的高潮。被热辣辣的文字折磨了好久,阅读完毕脚底板就开始发痒,...

昨天晚上读完了前段时间买回来的《达摩流浪者》。 从具有禅宗意味的书名就能略想书中内容的一二,凯鲁亚克这个垮掉一代的领军人物的代表作《在路上》倒是借过又退回,终没有阅读,却先读下这冠名为续篇的一本。 我回想起高三备考的阶段,因为什么,我们把课桌都拖到教...

旅途是适合思索的状态,尤其是孤独的旅途。 从《在路上》,到《荒凉天使》,到《达摩流浪者》。看凯鲁亚克的书就是看在他反反复复来来回回不知所向不知所终的路途中的思想迸发,一个人在无法确信和表达自己的思考的时候,可以通过别人的提示来进行,尽管这个人生活在与我们完...

捧着手中的《达摩流浪者》,思绪随着杰克·凯鲁亚克的脚步,从洛杉矶到旧金山,到墨西哥边境,到北卡罗莱纳,再带着感悟回到旧金山,最后登上喀斯喀特山脉的孤凉峰顶。眼睛里看的,是凯鲁亚克不断起伏的沉静与顿悟,心里却不停地自问:在这个年代,究竟为什么要去看凯鲁亚克?...

这本书最大的功劳是给我科普了寒山.........我觉得这位老人家最大的特色倒不是他的诗歌,而是.......他是个和尚吧......

The time I spent with The Dharma Bums was the most spiritual period so far, I wake up, meditate, smoke a little bit, for some time really feel the void of life, and eventually took the meditation class when finishing up the book. Kerouac is different from other pure writings I love. He doesn't analyze, but just sense and appreciate. Thank you Jack.
