“SCENE IS EARLY MORNING IN NEW YORK NEAR THE BOWERY, STANDING IN THE KITCHEN, CHEAP KITCHEN, ARE A COLORED GUY CALLED JULE AND A WHITE GUY CALLED BUCK, AND THEY'RE BOTH RAISING GLASSES OF WINE TO EACH OTHER.”
Jack Kerouac was an American novelist and poet of French-Canadian ancestry. He is considered a literary iconoclast and, alongside William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, a pioneer of the Beat Generation Kerouac is recognized for his method of spontaneous prose. Thematically, his work covers topics such as Catholic spirituality, jazz, promiscuity, Buddhism, drugs, poverty, and travel. He became an underground celebrity and, with other beats, a progenitor of the hippie movement, although he remained antagonistic toward some of its politically radical elements.
