"Reveals the boldness and originality of Kerouac's artistic vision."
–
The Boston Globe"It remains clear from his later letters that Kerouac understood what he was doing as a writer. He consistently explains his aesthetic, his plan to create the Duluoz Legend of books, and the essentially benign charity of his vision."
–San Francisco Chronicle
"Rambunctious and energetic . . . the letters convey the genius of that special American type–the perpetual motion man."
–The Washington Post
"Kerouac's letters and early stories supplement his legend, providing a fuller portrait of a true American original."
–The Boston Globe
