Description

Maggie Cassidy is an autobiographical novel by Jack Kerouac, published in Penguin Modern Classics. It is one of the most sustained and poetic pieces of his 'spontaneous prose'.

The book tells the story of Duluoz, a high school athlete who falls in love with Maggie Cassidy, a teenager from a New England mill town. This tender adolescent love affair is a poignant portrait of young love and friendship growing up.

Jack Kerouac was an American novelist, poet, artist, and part of the Beat Generation. His work includes The Town and the City, On the Road, The Subterraneans, Big Sur, and The Dharma Bums. If you enjoyed Maggie Cassidy, you might also like The Subterraneans and Pic, both available in Penguin Modern Classics.
