Desolation Angels

Серия: "-"

Desolation Angels is the wild and soulful story of the legendary road trip that Jack Kerouac took before the publication of On the Road, told through the persona of Jack Duluoz and accompanied by his thinly-disguised Beat cohorts Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs. As they hitch, hop freight trains, walk and talk their way across the world, from California to Mexico, London to Paris and on to opium-ridden Tangiers, Kerouac chronicles their poetry, partying, mountain vigils and spiritual contemplation with unsurpassable energy and humanity.

KEROUAC JACK (1922-1969)

Né dans le Massachusetts d’une famille de Canadiens français, Kerouac mène, après ses études, une vie errante, travaillant dans des garages, ou bien comme marin, parcourant en tous sens les États-Unis et le Mexique. Une grande partie de son abondante production est tirée de ces expériences. Parmi ses principaux livres, on peut citer, en dehors de son premier ouvrage La Ville et la cité (The Town and the City , 1950), Les Souterrains (The Subterraneans , 1958), l’autobiographique Vagabond solitaire (The Lonesome Traveller , 1960), Dr. Sax (1962), Big Sur (1962), Visions de Gérard (Visions of Gerard , 1963), et le recueil de poèmes Mexico City Blues (1959). Son œuvre la plus célèbre est toutefois Sur la route (On the Road ), qui, rédigée dès 1951, ne fut publiée qu’en 1957, faute d’éditeur qui l’accepte.

L’ouvrage, livre clé de la beat generation , est le récit des errances de l’auteur (qui se met en scène sous le pseudonyme de Sal Paradise) d’un bout à l’autre des États- Unis. Voyageant en auto-stop, logeant chez qui l’accepte, partageant femmes et alcool avec des amis de rencontre, Kerouac s’abandonne à la loi du hasard, à la recherche moins de l’aventure que d’une fraternité réelle entre les gens; il s’agit de connaître et d’aimer le monde et ceux qui y vivent, par-delà les conventions sociales, d’aller à la rencontre de soi-même. Le récit est le compte rendu de cette quête (qui fait souvent penser au vieux rêve whitmanien), avec ses moments d’euphorie, mais aussi ses passages à vide, ses instants nuls, ses échecs; parfois cocasse, parfois tragique, il rend remarquablement la nostalgie, typiquement américaine, des grands espaces.
