This critical text considers Jack Kerouac as writer-shaman, exploring the content and ecstatic technique of the novels and two experimental volumes that represent critical phases of his development. Thomas Bierowski also examines the reception of Kerouac's work, arguing that his rise and fall reflect not only the usual changes in literary taste but the precarious position of the shamanic figure in modern America.
Thomas R. Bierowski is an associate professor of English at Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania. He is a writer, performer and graphic artist.
