	Kerouac & Poe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Certainly, Kerouac is the more famous traveler and the more traveled of the two, having repeatedly traversed the continent, by thumb, by car, by bus, by train, and made "road going" the subject of his stories and the chief metaphor for his ongoing spiritual odyssey.
		Kerouac suffered menial labor for years until "On the Road" was finally published in 1957 and his life exploded with fame and opportunity for self-destruction.
		Kerouac, supposedly the free spirit and "father of the beat generation", became freaked out by all the phony attention and hypocritical acclaim showered upon him by the capitalist media and the newly rebellious american youth.

	Culture Wars Magazine - The Apocalypse of Jack Kerouac
		He claimed his father's ancestors, the Lebris de Kerouacs, were part of the Catholic resistance to the French Revolution, and participated in the uprising in the Vendee.
		Gabrielle Kerouac ran her household in French, and even at age 18 one of the more influential American novelists of the twentieth century was far from fluent in English.
		The Catholic overtones of Kerouac's thought are as obvious as a notion of his not utterly incompatible with Catholicism, but occasionally mistaken for it-"the idea that the downtrodden are saintly (the fellaheen)." It is not only Americans who love underdogs, most novelists do as well, and Kerouac was no exception.

		Blessed with looks, athleticism and a desperate drive to be 'one of the boys', Kerouac - a life-long alcoholic and drug-addict - never accepted his homosexual feelings, despite the encouragement of openly homosexual friends such as William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg (both of whom he slept with), and eventually drank himself to death in 1969.

	More Babbitt Than Beatnik
		Once upon a time it could be argued that the literary establishment was underestimating Kerouac's influence on a generation of vagrant visionaries, fellahin without fellowships.
		The main trouble with Kerouac is that he is too obtrusive a character to be the kind of observer his travel book requires.
		Whereas Burroughs can sit down in a corner and record things as they are, Kerouac has to be the center of attention, drinking, brawling, singing, and then writing the next morning, the next month, the next year with an awful hangover and no sense of artistic continuity.
