Autorenporträt
Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was an American novelist and poet, best known for his pivotal role in the Beat Generation, a literary movement that emerged in the 1950s. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, to French-Canadian parents, Kerouac's writing style was characterized by its spontaneous, free-flowing prose, often described as "stream of consciousness." His most famous work, *On the Road* (1957), captured the restless spirit of post-war America and became a defining novel of the counterculture. Kerouac's exploration of spirituality, jazz, and the search for meaning influenced generations of writers and artists. Despite his literary success, he struggled with personal demons, including alcoholism, and died at the age of 47.
