The lexical syllabus affords the learner a coherent learning opportunity. It does not dictate what will be learned and in what order. It offers the learner experience of a tiny but balanced corpus of natural language from which it is possible to make generalizations about the language as a whole. It then provides the learner with the stimulus to examine that mini-corpus in order to make those productive generalizations.
From relative obscurity, even at the time of his death in 1969, Jack Kerouac has risen to icon status with invigorated interest at all levels of scholarship and readership. This biography serves an important purpose in cutting through both the hagiography and the critical backlash that still surrounds the figure most closely identified with the Beat movement. Using the same structure--the events of his life-- that Kerouac himself utilized in writing his roman a clef novels such as On the Road, this biography provides an accessible alternative to current studies that will help readers, particularly students understand the creative legacy left by Kerouac.

"The text. . . will serve well as a one-volume introduction for new students. It also provides access to original research and new ideas sought by graduate students and faculty." Library Journal
