The life of novelist and poet Jack Kerouac has been widely documented through a series of biographies over the years since his death in 1969.

So why read yet another biography about we well known author? What makes this one different than all the rest?

The author of the biography, Joyce Johnson, had a romantic affair with Kerouac and focuses primarily on the events leading up to his most well known novel, On the Road.

She offers an in-depth, unique knowledge and perspective of Kerouac as a writer.

A lot of reviews out there have suggested that Johnson brings nothing new to the table in regards to Kerouac but for me, that was not the case.

Perhaps you love P&P for an entirely different reason: you are a cover whore and are drawn to all the beautifully reprinted copies and their stunning cover art! Whatever your reason is, P&P is a literary icon that is here to stay!
