Zusammenfassung:	"On a blind date in Greenwich Village set up by Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac met Joyce Glassman. This unique book, containing the many letters the two of them wrote to each other whenever Jack was in transit, reveals a surprising side of Kerouac - his capacity for forming a tender bond with a woman who shared his passion for writing. It also gives us a vivid and immediate picture from the female perspective of what it took to be young and Beat in the Cold War fifties, to participate in the formation of a defiant new bohemia in downtown Manhattan, and to fall deeply in love with a man who "could behave unforgivably but whom you would ultimately have to forgive.""--BOOK JACKET.
