The Voice Is All: The Lonely Victory of Jack Kerouac, to be published this month, explores how the "spontaneous" writing of On the Road was actually "a much longer process . . . each paragraph had to be a 'poem'."She shows how Kerouac's French Canadian background both enriched his prose and gave him a unique outsider's vision of the US. She details his slow, often painful development as a writer, with early struggles to master English.
