Examining Jack Kerouac in terms of shamanic technique, this critical text covers all his major work. Of particular interest are both the shamanic nature of Kerouac's content and the ecstatic technique of his style in his five novels and two experimental volumes.

This critical text considers Jack Kerouac as writer-shaman, exploring the content and ecstatic technique of the novels and two experimental volumes that represent critical phases of his development. Thomas Bierowski also examines the reception of Kerouac''s work, arguing that his rise and fall reflect not only the usual changes in literary taste but the precarious position of the shamanic figure in modern America.
