[Jack Kerouac, late 1944 or early 1945 New York City. Allen Ginsberg]
Jack Kerouac would have been 89 today. His birthday might be celebrated here any number of ways. We thought best, on this occasion, to point you towards Allen's wonderful essay, "
Negative Capability: Kerouac's Buddhist Ethic" (recently made available on-line
[2012 update - regrettably now not, but you can subscribe to the essay at Tricycle on their home-page here]). A Buddhist
and a Catholic
and a Humanist, and, first and foremost, a writer. Happy Birthday, Jack! - Long may your books be read and your beneficial (beatific!) influence reign!
