Offbeat
David Amram writes of his relationship with Kerouac from the perspective of a lifelong, devoted friend. Perhaps it was his intended writing style, or just his natural voice, but Amram maintains a neutrality of tone that allows his actions, even those after Kerouac's death, to speak for the tenderness and affection that existed between these two artists/friends/colleagues before, during and after the beginning of On the Road's success. After reading a variety of essays on the Beat Generation writers, as well as several of their works, this book (about which I'd never heard) became what I'd been unknowingly looking for all along, in terms of rounding off my perception of these artists from that powerful, creative moment of the 50s and 60s that changed American literature indefinitely. An important read for fans of this fondly remembered era.
