Official synopsis Publisher
From the bard of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac’s Maggie Cassidy is a profoundly moving, autobiographical novel of adolescence and first love
One of the dozen books written by Jack Kerouac in the early and mid-1950s, Maggie Cassidy was not published until 1959, after the appearance of On the Road had made its author famous overnight. Long out of print, this touching novel of adolescent love in a New England mill town, with its straight-forward narrative structure, is one of Kerouac’s most accesible works. It is a remarkable, bittersweet evocation of the awkwardness and the joy of growing up in America.
