Desolation Angels is the wild and soulful autobiographical story that covers a key year in Jack Kerouac’s life—the year of the legendary road trip that led up to the publication of On the Road in 1957. Told through the persona of Jack Duluoz, who is accompanied by Kerouac’s thinly disguised Beat cohorts Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and William Burroughs, Desolation Angels chronicles their move from isolated mountains to travels across the world. From the bars and jazz clubs of San Francisco to Mexico City, New York, Paris, London, and the opium-ridden Tangiers, Kerouac tells of their poetry, parties, mountain vigils, and spiritual contemplation in classic Kerouac fashion: with unsurpassable energy and humanity.
