Jack Kerouac, legendary King of the Beats, turns up raving in this kaleidoscopic novel about an obsessive survivor of the Psychedelic Sixties. Set mostly in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco and atop Mount Jubilation in the Canadian Rockies, Visions of Kerouac moves from Montreal to Chicago and Boston, from the tiny Quebec village of Ste. Therese to New York City and the Timeless Void of the Golden Eternity.
It juggles time-lines and narrators, asserts that Kerouac is bigger than Beat and celebrates Great Walking Sainthood.
