Synopsis "Desolation Angels. Jack Kerouac "

Desolation Angels is the wild and soulful story of the legendary road trip that Jack Kerouac took before the publication of On the Road, told through the persona of Jack Duluoz and accompanied by his thinly-disguised Beat cohorts Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs. As they hitch, hop freight trains, walk and talk their way across the world, from California to Mexico, London to Paris and on to opium-ridden Tangiers, Kerouac chronicles their poetry, partying, mountain vigils and spiritual contemplation with unsurpassable energy and humanity.

Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), an emblematic figure of the Beat Generation, captured the spirit of the era in his novels. Notable works include “On the Road” (1957), a key work on travel and freedom, “The Dharma Bums” (1958), inspired by Buddhism, and “The Subterraneans” (1958), about bohemian life. Kerouac, also a poet, is recognized for his spontaneous prose.
