The last of six programmes Jack Kerouac : Writer
He was suddenly aware of the sound of language and got swimming in the seas of sound.
(ALAN GINSBERG , poet)
He was the precursor of the revolution of the 1980s.

(MALCOLM COWLEY, critic)
He has been called the patron saint of the American Beat
Generation. His life and writing were, to that generation, a symbol of rejection of Eisenhower's America. Kerouac went from college football hero to self-destructive alcoholic: 'a man on the run' his friend
Lucien Carr called him. But, in that retreat, he made at least one novel that challenged, and continues to challenge, the way in which we see the world. Presented by Hugh Sykes Researcher MIKE WOOLF

No More than Human (10)
Why Didn't They Warn Williams? by ANGELA SEWELL based on a true story of the First World War
The effect of total isolation on the human mind can be devastating. The awareness of such a possibility will advance slowly on a young mind.
