Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
"To call this book the definitive Kerouac biography is an understatement," said LJ's reviewer at its 1983 debut (LJ 4/15/83). Many other critics felt the same, as did several of Kerouac's friends. This edition has been updated with a new foreword and many new photographs. Though Kerouac was snubbed by the critics of his day, time has shown that his seemingly mad musings could have been the offspring of a one-night stand between those of Gertrude Stein and James Joyce. Essential for all literary biography collections.

Morris Dickstein, New York Times Book Review
"[Memory Babe] meshes well with Kerouac's own books, paraphrasing them, putting their story in chronological order and fleshing out the autobiographical legend."
