Jack Kerouac: The Long Island Years

I learned about this piece from the Long Island Press focusing on Jack Kerouac's years in Northport from Al Hinkle on Facebook. Good catch, Al.

I'm don't know if it adds any new information to the Kerouac story, but it's well done and contains a number of details of interest to Kerouacaficionados.

Happy reading.
