Beginning with the publication of ''On The Road'' in 1957, when Kerouac became a national celebrity and appeared on TV talk shows, and especially since his death in 1969, when he became a minor industry and a leading author's-photo postcard, his name has been used to sell so many attitudes and promote so many fashions that the artist behind the image has been obscured. For certain left-wing baby boomers, Kerouac is a political figure first -- the great Eisenhower-era proto-hippie. For New Agers, he's a spiritual pioneer who helped make America safe for Eastern religion. For college kids with powerful car stereos, he's the original road-trip party hound. Even people who may have never read him want a piece of Kerouac, it seems (including the tabloid murder suspect Scott Peterson, who referred to him as ''Jack Cadillac'' in a phone conversation recorded by the police.) Kerouac is no longer just an artist. He's a lifestyle god. - New york times.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0739451642\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0739451642.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kerouac, Jack; Brinkley, Douglas (editor\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
