"Grace's extensively researched and crisp, lucid prose makes Kerouac come alive as an interdisciplinary artist whose work implores America to reclaim its spiritual folk heritage."--Tony Trigilio, Columbia College Chicago and author of Allen Ginsberg's Buddhist Poetics "Grace's scholarship illuminates Kerouac's achievement and explains how his writing reflects the diverse cultural traditions that nourished his genius. A most helpful book."--Ann Charters, Professor of English, University of Connecticut "Grace has given us the most powerful and comprehensive account to date of why Kerouac was right to claim that 'Beat' is at root 'beatitude.' Through her rich interrogation of Kerouac's sustained dialogue with his Catholicism, Buddhism, and his faith in American possibility past and present, we are privileged to see not simply Kerouac the seeker after kicks but Kerouac the religious seeker and Kerouac the religious thinker."Timothy Hunt, Professor of English, Illinois State University and author of Kerouac's Crooked Road: Development of a Fiction, "Grace's extensively researched and crisp, lucid prose makes Kerouac come alive as an interdisciplinary artist whose work implores America to reclaim its spiritual folk heritage."--Tony Trigilio, Columbia College Chicago and author of Allen Ginsberg's Buddhist Poetics "Grace's scholarship illuminates Kerouac's achievement and explains how his writing reflects the diverse cultural traditions that nourished his genius. A most helpful book."--Ann Charters, Professor of English, University of Connecticut "Grace has given us the most powerful and comprehensive account to date of why Kerouac was right to claim that 'Beat' is at root 'beatitude.'

    Item was exactly as described and packaged to protect it. Seller’s pricing was spot on and when I received it, it was in good condition. Seller actually messaged me when they shipped it (I really appreciated that). Overall I’m happy doing business with them!

    Very good customer service. Postage was very quick. Unfortunately the packaging wasn't enough to protect the item from a heavy blow and it arrived damaged, but zuber was responsive to the situation. Obviously I'd prefer if nothing had gone wrong, but the real test of customer service is how someone responds when things DO go wrong, and I've got nothing but praise for Katie's communication with me.
