Author Description

"Here are the haiku Jack Kerouac, Albert Saijo and Lew Welch jotted down on the road from San Francisco to New York in 1959. Albert recounts their November trip in Lew's Willys Jeepster, making the big city scene, visiting Jack's home in Northport on Long Island, and eventually the long drive back West. A section from Lew's unfinished novel describes the trip and the return, and his early 1960 letters to Jack continue a strong friendship."--BOOK JACKET.
