Yet it is only his private journals, in which he set down the raw material of his life and thinking, that reveal to us the real Kerouac. In <I>Windblown World</I>, distinguished Americanist Douglas Brinkley has gathered a selection of journal entries from the most pivotal period of Kerouac's life, 1947 to 1954. Here is Kerouac as a hungry young writer finishing his first novel while forging crucial friendships with Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Neal Cassady. Truly a self-portrait of the artist as a young man, this unique and indispensable volume is sure to become an integral element of the Beat oeuvre. 874031 2004 Windblown World: The Journals of Jack Kerouac 1947-1954 total:141|5:56|4:52|3:32|2:1|1:0| 141 586 239 16 5 0 false false Mon Apr 20 18:49:54 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 19:07:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 10 21:31:51 -0700 2007 Wed Nov 21 08:49:53 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Nov 27 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Oct 08 18:22:32 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 03 15:24:00 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 02 12:39:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 12:43:27 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 06 12:05:23 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 06 12:11:04 -0800 2007 On the Road in one, non-stop burst of unedited joy.
