Abstract

The objective of this work is to describe the writing method of Jack Kerouac, finding traces of artistic influence and analyzing the importance of the becoming of the writer for the modern novel. Especially, we inquire the nuance as a peculiar characteristic of Kerouac as an important writer in the 21st century. Through aesthetical observations and historical descriptions of Kerouac’s method, we intend to deconstruct the myth behind the idea of the naïve, wholly instinctive writer and show his gradual evolution in the writers trade.
