Synopsis

Kerouac called this his "best most serious sad and true book yet." Kerouac weaves his later Buddhist tendencies into a memoir about his Franco-American Catholic childhood, focusing on the time leading up to the death of his beloved older brother Gerard when Jack was five years old and Gerard was nine.
