Industry Reviews "...[P]erhaps 80 percent of the letters in this collection furnish thematic enticements into the Kerouac canon....Indeed, a fairly constant theme in both the letters and the fiction of Jack Kerouac is simply ZEST--or verve or gusto or relish: The idea is to rush forward into the experience if only to HAVE the experience." Bloomsbury Review - Peter Thorpe
"For those already familiar with some of Kerouac's books and interested in the man who wrote them, 'Selected Letters: 1940-1956', arranged chronologically with headnotes by Charters, will be a revelation." Atlantic Monthly - Ralph Lombreglia (08/19/1995)
"Ms. Charters has selected, and meticulously annotated, nearly 200 letters written by Kerouac (along with nine written to him, principally from his mother)...Included...is a rich array of correspondence, most of it previously unpublished." New York Times Book Review - Ann Douglas
