Kerouac in Black and White

Title
Kerouac in Black and White
Description
An essay in exploration of Jack Kerouac's French-Canadianness in twentieth-century America. How digging into this particular ethnicity, time, and place shapes how one considers Kerouac's late-life ideas about race, his relationship with religion, or the stylings of his writing. Blaise considers Kerouac alongside other fiction writers (William Faulkner, Theodore Dreiser, William Saroyan, Thomas Wolfe) that, to Blaise, have engaged their fiction in similar conversations with both sentimentality and American diversity. From the author of "I Had a Father: A Post-Modern Autobiography" and "Lunar Attractions."
