Book of Dreams

"Lost love, madness, castration, cats that speak, cats in danger of their lives, people giving birth to cats, grade school classrooms, Mel Torme, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Tolstoy and Genet all make repeated appearances, lending the collection a repetitive, nonprogrammatic logic and exposing an unfamiliar sort of vulnerable beauty in Kerouac's iconic persona."-Publishers Weekly

"There is much to lament in the saga of his life, and quite a bit is surprising."-Michael Kammen, Los Angeles Book Review
