News at Eleven: Still, say Kerouac apologists

such as brother-in-law John Sampas, "the academy is realizing Jack was an articulate man of letters."

"He also was a very tender, sweet, warm, gentle intellectual giant," Sampas said from his Lowell home. "Only after reading all his journals and diaries did I come to realize he was a genius."

Jack Kerouac was a fine writer and has only gotten better with the passage of time ! He was my first literary hero and has a special place in my heart now that I am 59.
