商品簡介
Truth and Beautiful Meaningful Lies is a collection of memorable quotes from one of the most quoted writers in American literature.


One of the most celebrated writers in American literature, Jack Kerouac helped an entire generation of post-WWII Americans explore a purpose beyond the standard narrative values, spiritual ideologies, and economic materialism that was rampant throughout pre-war America. Alongside prominent beat writers like Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, Kerouac crafted a magnum opus that would later be connected to counterculture movements throughout the 1960s.

His extensive collection of novels, short stories, poetry, journals, letters, and other writings are often littered with long-winded reflections, observations, proclamations, and other mad ramblings about life, love, loss, loneliness, and the search for a new American identity. Constantly pivoting from a recluse searching "...once and for all what is the meaning of all this existence and suffering and going to and fro in vain," to a seasoned road-warrior exploring the country and sifting through the profound philosophies of Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and the meaning of Dharma, Kerouac's spontaneous style of prose generates a kind of unpolished wisdom that leaves a lasting impression long after reading.

The insights and quotes assembled in this book have been woven into a patchwork of reoccurring themes found throughout Kerouac's writings, such as adventure, life, self-reflection, and spirituality are heavily featured, but more niche quotes around topics like cats, coffee, music, and sports can also be found. This collection pulls from prominent novels such as Big Sur, Desolation Angels, The Dharma Bums, On the Road: The Original Scroll, The Subterraneans, Tristessa, Vanity of Duluoz, and Visions of Cody, as well as some of his selected short stories, poems, letters, and journals.

Whether you're new to Kerouac, searching for inspiration in his words, or are a self-proclaimed "mad one" looking to make sense of it all, this quote book will undoubtedly serve as a go-to reference for the discerning Kerouac reader.
