Jack Kerouac (1922 March 12 (Lowell, Massechusetts) — 1969) was a novelist/poet, leading figure and spokesman of the Beat Generation. His works: On the Road (1957) — written in three weeks, also Dharma Bums, Mexico City Blues, Doctor Sax, Desolation Angels. His work presented a new, spontaneous, unpolished style, which appealed to a subculture of folksingers, hipsters, mystics, and writers of 1950s Cold War America where conformity and witchhunts sought to impose straitjacket freedom. Pals with kooks like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, and Ted Joans.
