Description

Desolation Angels is a wild and soulful account of Jack Kerouac's legendary road trip before On the Road. Told through his own voice, this memoir chronicles the poet, partyer, and spiritual seeker as he hitchhikes, hops freight trains, walks, talks, and contemplates with unwavering energy and humanity.

From California to Mexico, London to Paris, and on to Tangiers, Kerouac recounts his companions' poetry, parties, mountain vigils, and spiritual explorations with unflinching sincerity. This is a nerve-jangling, sentimental, and funny tale of youthful rebellion and self-discovery.

With its unsurpassable energy and humanity, Desolation Angels offers a unique glimpse into the Beat Generation's most iconic figures and their unforgettable journey.
