Representaion In Favor Of Books Maggie Cassidy (Duluoz Legend)

"When someone asks 'Where does [Kerouac] get that stuff?' say: 'From you!' He lay awake all night listening with eyes and ears. A night of a thousand years. Heard it in the womb, heard it in the cradle, heard it in school , heard it on the floor of life's stock exchange where dreams are traded for gold." —Henry MillerOne of the dozen books written by Jack Kerouac in the early and mid-1950s, Maggie Cassidy was not published until 1959, after the appearance of On the Road had made its author famous overnight, Long out of print, this touching novel of adolescent love in a New England mill town, with its straight-forward narrative structure, is one of Kerouac's most accesible works. It is a remarkable , bittersweet evocation of the awkwardness and the joy of growing up in America.

Write Up Of Books Maggie Cassidy (Duluoz Legend)

Since this was one of his early books, I believe he hadn't developed the stream-of-consciousness style he'd later become famous for. In the beginning, Maggie Cassidy told the story of the golden age of the main character's youth and love in Francophone New England. The community had a faintly mythic quality, as though seen through a child's eyes. However as the story developed and the main character grew older, the charm was lost and the story floundered. Although interesting because of the

Fucking hell, Kerouac.It may be that your semi-intellectual idea of 'spontaneous prose' is the source of some deeply poetic-sounding shit. It may be that On the Road is a great book. It may be grand that you wrote a book about your first love and named it after her.This all becomes slightly less grand, however, when you then go on to spend half your time "in love" disrespecting and ditching 'that big love in the wild Lowell whirlwinds of black night'. There's some instant Kerouac for ya. Just

An ordinary story but the way Kerouac tells it makes it something wonderful.There's something in this book I can't describe the feeling of being a teenager and in love,growing up, the sadness of first love and knowing that you can't have a future with your first love but not accepting it. Sad,sweet and inoccent.

It's been a long time since I read a book by Jack Kerouac. When I was younger and first read "On The Road", "Dharma Bums", "The Subterraneans", "Visions Of Cody", and the several others of his that I've read, I loved his stuff. But as I've gotten older, and the distance between me and the last time I read any Kerouac has grown, the criticism that the guy comes in for in certain circles has gotten to me a bit, and I've found myself wondering at times whether or not he's as awesome as I remember.

My first Kerouac. As a story, it's very typical; an adolescent love affair of an American high school athlete, set in 60s maybe, a small town story. However, the writing is sweet as honey. It is the poet in Kerouac that won it all over for me, despite the testosterone driven teenage boy talks. The writing was beautiful, very poetic. :)Recommended.

The fact that the main character in this novel is actually Sal Paradise - Kerouac wanted them to share the same name but publisher stopped that - made me like the book a lot more. And the fact that that made me like it a lot more isn't very good 'publicity' for this book. I've read two other Kerouacs, On the Road and Lonesome Traveler, that I both enjoyed very much. I love reading about travelling and all the adventures on the road, and I think Kerouacs spontaneous prose fits those stories very

Jack Kerouac embodies Americana. Plain and simple.Father-Son relationships. Blue Collar America. Wild, silly friendships. Small(ish) towns. All some of my favorite things.One of the greatest love stories I've ever read, "Maggie Cassidy" so accurately exemplifies friendship, young love, and adolescence. To fool friends and family for the heart of a woman, as flawed as she may be, while simulatenously battling the confusion of growing up, Kerouac illustrates that our decisions as youngsters really
