About the book >.>.> Before Jack Kerouno expressed the spirit of a generation in his 1957 classic On the Road and became the definitive voice of Beat culture he spent years figuring out how he wanted to live and above all learning how to write. In Atop an Underwood. editor Paul Marion has brought together more than sixty previously unpublished works that Kerouac wrote between the ages of thirteen and twenty-one. ranging from stories and poems to plays and parts of novels including an excerpt from his 1943 merchant marine novel. The Sea Is My Brother. Readers scholars and critics will find in this book a fascinating missing link in Kerouac’s development as a writer. Kerouac’s lifelong subjects of America adventurous travel spiritual questing work family and sports are all here in Atop an Underwood. The writings reveal what Kerouac was thinking doing and dreaming during his formative years and reflect his primary lit- erary influences; readers will also find in these works the source of Kerouac’s spontaneous prose. In the first words he ever wrote Kerouac proves he was born with a passion for writing and living. As he declared later in his life. “Always considered writing my duty on earth.” (SP)
