{"product_id":"book-of-sketches-jack-kerouac-9780142002155","title":"Book of Sketches","description":"In 1952 and 1953 as he wandered around America, Jack Kerouac jotted down spontaneous prose poems, or \"sketches\" as he called them, on small notebooks that he kept in his shirt pockets. The poems recount his travels--New York, North Carolina, Lowell (Massachusetts, Kerouac's birthplace), San Francisco, Denver, Kansas, Mexico--observations, and meditations on art and life. The poems are often strung together so that over the course of several of them, a little story--or travelogue--appears, complete in itself. Published for the first time, \u003cb\u003eBook of Sketches\u003c\/b\u003e offers a luminous, intimate, and transcendental glimpse of one of the most original voices of the twentieth century at a key time in his literary and spiritual development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Kerouac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0142002151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142002155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.10h x 4.84w x 1.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/13\/2006 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2006 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/14\/2006 pg. 92","brand":"Jack Kerouac","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987255886079,"sku":"9780142002155","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_643a4995-5f2a-4ebc-9347-ecd059c21cae.jpg?v=1683287893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/book-of-sketches-jack-kerouac-9780142002155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
