This remarkable gathering of previously unpublished writings reveals as never before the extraordinary literary journey that led to his phenomenal success--a journey with deep roots in the language and culture of Kerouac's French Canadian childhood. Edited and published with unprecedented access to the Kerouac archives, The Unknown Kerouac presents two lost novels, The Night Is My Woman and Old Bull in the Bowery , which Kerouac wrote in French during the especially fruitful years of 1951 and 1952. Discovered among his papers in the mid-nineties, they have been translated into English for the first time by Jean-Christophe Cloutier, who incorporates Kerouac's own partial translations. Also included are two journals from the heart of this same crucial period.

Journal 1951 , begun during a stay in a Bronx VA hospital, charts, in ecstatic, moving, and self-revealing pages, the wave of insights and breakthroughs that led Kerouac to the most singular transformation of American prose style since Hemingway.

The item wasn't exactly as described. But, the seller was courteous and offered to refund me. I would've accepted a partial refund because I could still use the item, but they generously refunded the full amount of the order. Anyone can make a mistake and overlook some details of an item for sale. But, it speaks to the character of a seller to do so much to make things right. Thank you.
