Jack Kerouac's The Haunted Life premiering as a play in Lowell

Jack Kerouac's long-lost novel, The Haunted Life, will premiere as a play in his hometown of Lowell, Massachusetts at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) from March 20 to April 14. You can read more details here. Click here for my curation of that particular Kerouac novel.

I attended the premiere of Beat Generation at MRT in October 2012 and it was well done, so I have no doubt that this will be a quality performance. You can read my review of that play by clicking here. Click here for the MRT website.

See you in Lowell some time....

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
