Abstract or Description
This entry in The Literary Encyclopedia focuses on Kerouac's experimental project Book of Dreams (1960). The article covers the main themes developed in the book, and explores Kerouac's stylistics -- especially the interplay between the recollected images flashing through the mind and their transcription in writing form. The article also investigates issues of reception and offers a brief interpretation of Kerouac's project, replaced in the context of The Duluoz Legend.
