PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS VISIONS OF GERARD - J...

'The piteousness of his little soft shroud of hair falling down his brow and swept aside by the
hand over blue serious eyes'Described by Kerouac as 'my most serious sad and true book' 
Visions of Gerard forms the first volume of his memoir cycle the 'Duluoz Legend'. Based on Jack
Kerouac's memories of the beloved older brother who died when he was a boy  it is unique among
his novels for its dreamlike evocation of the sensations of childhood - its wisdom  anguish 
intensity  innocence  joy and pain. It is a haunting exploration of the precariousness of
existence.'Called a pain-tale by Kerouac  it's the story of an almost divine  Buddha-like child
wracked with sickness and suffering' Guardian
