Jack Kerouac
Kerouac was born Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac, in Lowell, Massachusetts, to a family of Franco-Americans. His parents, Leo-Alcide Kerouac and Gabrielle-Ange Levesque, were natives of the province of Quebec in Canada. Like many other Quebecers of their generation, the Levesques and Kerouacs were part of the Quebec emigration to New England to find employment. Jack didn't start to learn English until the age of six. At home, he and his family spoke Quebec French. At an early age, he was profoundly marked by the death of his elder brother Gerard, later prompting him to write the book Visions of Gerard.
In 1950 his first novel was published, under the name ""John Kerouac"". Unlike Kerouac's later work which establish his Beat style, ""The Town and the City"" is heavily influenced by Kerouac's reading of Thomas Wolfe.
Kerouac wrote constantly, but did not publish his next novel, On the Road, until 1957. Narrated from the point of view of the character Sal Paradise, this mostly autobiographical work of fiction described his roadtrip adventures across the United States and into Mexico with Neal Cassady, the model for Dean Moriarty in the book. In a way, the story is an offspring of Mark Twain's classic Huckleberry Finn, though in On the Road the narrator (Sal Paradise) is twice Huck's age, and Kerouac's story is set in the America of about a hundred years after. The novel is often described as the defining work of the post-World War II jazz, poetry, and drug affected Beat Generation; it made Kerouac ""the king of the beat generation."" Using Benzedrine and coffee, Kerouac wrote the entire novel in only three weeks in an extended session of spontaneous prose, his original writing style, heavily influenced by Jazz (especially Bebop), and later Buddhism. Kerouac was hailed as a major American writer, and reluctantly as the voice of the Beat Generation. His fame would come as an unmanageable surge that would ultimately be his undoing.
His friendship with Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Gregory Corso, among others, defined a generation. Kerouac also wrote and narrated a ""Beat"" movie titled Pull My Daisy in 1958. In 1954, Kerouac discovered Dwight Goddard's A Buddhist Bible at the San Jose Library, which then marked the beginning of his studies of Buddhism and his own personal quest for enlightenment.
He died on October 21, 1969 at St. Anthony's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, from an internal hemorrhage caused by cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 47, the unfortunate result of a life of heavy drinking. He was living at the time with his third wife Stella, and his mother Gabrielle. He is buried in his home town of Lowell.

El fascinante relato de los años formativos del escritor beat.
En sus últimos años, Jack Kerouac consideraba que todas sus obras eran parte de una «enorme comedia», de un gran canto whitmaniano, literatura surgida de su propia vida, que él titulaba «La leyenda de los Duluoz». Y Jack Duluoz era él mismo, el protagonista de todas sus novelas, aunque se llamara Sal Paradise en En el camino o Leo Percepied en Los subterráneos. La vanidad de los Duluoz, escrita en 1967 con la perspectiva que dan los años y bajo la forma de una larga carta-relato dirigida a su «mujercita», es el fascinante relato de los años formativos del escritor. Duluoz, un jovencito que juega espléndidamente al fútbol americano, consigue una beca para estudiar en la Universidad de Columbia, pero su educación coincide con la Segunda Guerra Mundial, por lo que tendrá un aprendizaje y una iniciación a la vida adulta mucho más aventureros y caóticos de lo que podía imaginar en sus años de instituto. Se alistará sin gran entusiasmo en la marina, cruzará el Atlántico, irá a Dublín y a Groenlandia, pasando por Londres, recorrerá el mundo, y volverá por fin a una Nueva York donde le esperan Burroughs, Cassady y Ginsberg, y donde comenzarán los agitados años de la literatura, los viajes, la música y las drogas, la salvaje, extática aventura de vivir y de escribir...
