Descriptions du produit

Ingram

Written in 1953, published in 1959 (after the 1957 publication of Kerouac's On the Road made him famous overnight) and long out of print, this touching novel of adolescent love in a New England mill town is one of Kerouac's most accessible works. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The gamut, Oct. 12 2006
This review is from: Maggie Cassidy (Paperback)
Ah, the highs and lows of the beat generation. Kerouac, THE representative of that group, is at his peak once again with MAGGIE CASSIDY. Why "On the Road" gets so much attention when books like this are so much better, is beyond me. Marketing, I suppose. MC is, for the most part, a love story, the way his "Tristessa" is, but this one centers more around the teenage years and all the foibles that come with that territory. And there are a lot. The characters seem original and fresh, even after all these years, the way McCrae's "Katzenjammer" does, or the way some of Burrough's writing is. The big reason I liked this book so much was not the story, however, but the style in which it was written. Descriptions are great, full, and fecund, and the tone is bittersweet, with a haunting quality probably due to its setting--the 1930s. I highly recommend this book, along with another great book I just read: Katzenjammer by McCrae. You can't go wrong with Kerouac, however.

5.0étoiles sur 5 An Over Looked Jem, Nov. 9 2003
Par William Bradford "hipster818" (Palos Park, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Maggie Cassidy (Paperback)
When thinking of Jack Kerouac the first think you think about is On The Road, or the Dharma Bums. Yet this is a story that has a very personal feel to it. In some ways more so than his other stories. The basic story line is love, love lost and love that got away, yet never forgotten. I'm over simplifying, but that is what it comes down to. Clocking in at just fewer than 200 pages. Kerouac fits a lot into a short novel. On almost every page you can get a feel of Kerouac have regret for losing Maggie Cassidy. The true beauty comes from the language that Kerouac uses to describe things and people. It is really something to read the final time Kerouac and Cassidy meet. It is sad and powerful in the descriptions and the visual images that he gives that give insight to Kerouac more as a person rather than a writer. This story can best be understood from someone who is "older" in years. I say that in terms of thinking rather than actual age. Because although I am 25, at the time of this review, I can relate to the story, yet I am sure that I will relate to the story more as I get older.

This is a wonderful story that we can all relate to in some way or fashion. It is wonderful piece lit that is better than some of the garbage I reading my junior year English class, when I was in high school.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Jack's Best Kept Secret, Mars 12 2003
Par Birdman (Minnetonka, MN USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Maggie Cassidy (Paperback)
When Kerouac was good he was superb. This is young love in a glorious, mind-bending nutshell. Beautifully written and deeply felt.

When I was much younger and had experienced my first brutal betrayal in life, this novel was my greatest comfort. Kerouac had uncanny vision into the human heart, and was capable of expressing the awful paradox of young love, the joy and pain of it, it terms that were never sentimental, and often quietly heroic.

A poetic, lovely book.
