American novelist and poet
Born: March 12, 1922
Died: October 21, 1969

Jack Kerouac, born on March 12, 1922, in Lowell, Massachusetts, was a leading figure of the Beat Generation, a literary movement that emerged in the 1950s. His most famous work, “On the Road” (1957), epitomizes the Beat ethos of rebellion, exploration, and spontaneous living. Kerouac’s writing style, characterized by its stream-of-consciousness narrative and poetic prose, influenced generations of writers.

Kerouac’s life was marked by wanderlust and restlessness, traits reflected in his characters and stories. He embarked on numerous cross-country journeys, which provided inspiration for his writing. His other notable works include “The Dharma Bums” (1958) and “Big Sur” (1962), both exploring themes of spirituality and disillusionment.

Despite his literary success, Kerouac struggled with alcoholism and inner turmoil. He died on October 21, 1969, in St. Petersburg, Florida, at the age of 47. While he faced criticism during his lifetime, his work gained recognition posthumously for its influence on American literature and its portrayal of the countercultural movement of the mid-20th century. Jack Kerouac remains an enduring figure in literary history, celebrated for his rebellious spirit and innovative writing style.

Jack Kerouac’s 5 most popular quotes

• Nothing is behind me; everything is ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.
• The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.
• Practice kindness all day to everybody, and you will realize you’re already in heaven.
• Put down the pen someone else gave you.
  No one ever drafted a life worth living on borrowed ink.
