Kerouac, Jack, 1922-1969.

Visions of Gerard Jack Kerouac. - New York, N.Y., U.S.A. : Penguin Books, 1991. - 130 p. ; 20 cm.

Originally published in 1963.

Unique among Jack Kerouac's novels, Visions of Gerard focuses on the scenes and sensations of childhood - the wisdom, anguish, intensity, innocence, evil, insight, suffering, delight, and shock - as they were revealed in the short tragic -happy life of his saintly brother, Gerard. Set in Kerouac's hometown of Lowell, Massachusetts, it is an unsettling beautiful, and sad exploration of the meaning and precariousness of existence.
