Cultural Writing. Memoir. Introduction by Robert Creeley. BOOK OF DREAMS is Jack Kerouac's record of his dream life, a parallel autobiography of the soul, the sleeper's On the Road: "I got my weary eyes out of bed & through eyes swollen with sleep swiftly scribbled in pencil in my little dream notebook till I had exhausted every rememberable item..." Awake or asleep, Jack's mind spun the web of relationships that were the substance of almost everything he wrote: "In the book I just continue the same story but in the dreams I had the real-life characters I always write about." This new expanded edition marks the full publication of the complete manuscript as Kerouac intended it.
