¿Rebellion, self-destructive behavior, alcoholism¿all the Kerouac hallmarks are in evidence...¿¿Publishers Weekly ¿A striking success.¿¿Philadelphia Inquirer ¿There will never be a moment like this one,¿ says poet and fellow Beat writer Robert Creeley, in his introduction to this literary event: the first full-length work to be published since Kerouac¿s death in 1969. Discovered by his estate, ORPHEUS EMERGED chronicles the passions, conflicts and dreams of a group of bohemians searching for truth while studying at a university. Kerouac wrote the story shortly after meeting Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Lucien Carr, and others in and around Columbia University who would form the core of the Beats. ORPHEUS EMERGED is a unique portrait of an artist as a young man and shows a writer in the process of finding the voice that would eventually express the spirit of a generation.

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.
