Author Bio

Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was one of the pioneers of the Beat Generation of writers. His works are best-known for his signature 'spontaneous prose' style which was written off the cuff and with little to no editing. His works were mostly semi-fictionalised accounts of the people and places with which he was surrounded and examined many of the themes associated with the Beat movement such as Buddhism, drugs, travel, and spirituality. Though success was not as forthcoming as he would have liked during his lifetime Kerouac is now recognised as the father of the Beat movement and his works remain popular.
