Jack Kerouac est né en 1922 à Lowell, Massachusetts, dans une famille d'origine canadienne-française. Étudiant à Columbia, marin durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il rencontre à New York, en 1944, William Burroughs et Allen Ginsberg, avec lesquels il mène une vie de bohème à Greenwich Village. Nuits sans sommeil, alcool et drogues, sexe et homosexualité, délires poétiques et jazz bop ou cool, vagabondages sans argent à travers les États-Unis, de New York à San Francisco, de Denver à La Nouvelle-Orléans, et jusqu'à Mexico, vie collective trépidante ou quête solitaire aux lisières de la folie ou de la sagesse, révolte mystique et recherche du satori sont quelques-unes des caractéristiques de ce mode de vie qui est un défi à l'Amérique conformiste et bien-pensante. Après son premier livre, The Town and the City (1950), il met au point une technique nouvelle très spontanée, à laquelle on a donné le nom de "littérature de l'instant" et qui aboutira à la publication de Sur la route en 1957, centré sur le personnage obscur et fascinant de Dean Moriarty (Neal Cassady). Il est alors considéré comme le chef de file de la beat generation. Après une voyage à Tanger, Paris et Londres, il s'installe avec sa mère à Long Island puis en Floride, et publie, entre autres, Les Souterrains, Les clochards célestes, Le vagabond solitaire, Anges de la désolation et Big Sur. Jack Kerouac est mort le 21 octobre 1969, à l'âge de quarante-sept ans.

Résumé
From the bard of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac's Maggie Cassidy is an autobiographical novel of young love, published in Penguin Modern Classics. Though publishers stopped Maggie Cassidy's Jack Duluoz and On the Road's Sal Paradise from sharing the same name, Kerouac meant the books to be two parts of the same life. While On the Road made Paradise (and Kerouac) a hero for generations to come of the disaffected and restless, Maggie Cassidy is an affectionate portrait of the teenager that made the man - of friendship and first love growing up in a New England mill town.
Duluoz is a high school athletics and football star who meets Maggie Cassidy and begins a devoted, inconstant, tender adolescent love affair. It is one of the most sustained, poetic pieces of Kerouac's 'spontaneous prose'. Jack Kerouac (1922-69) was an American novelist, poet, artist and part of the Beat Generation. His first published novel, The Town and the City, appeared in 1950, but it was On the Road, published in 1957, that made Kerouac famous.
Publication of his many other books followed, among them The Subterraneans, Big Sur, and The Dharma Bums. Kerouac died in Florida at the age of forty-seven. If you enjoyed Maggie Cassidy, you might like Kerouac's The Subterraneans and Pic, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'A very unique cat - a French Canadian Hinayana Buddhist Beat Catholic savant' Allen Ginsberg
