A review by jasonpacheco
The Haunted Life: and Other Writings by Jack Kerouac

4.0

Recently finished The Haunted Life and enjoyed it quite a bit.

A section from The Haunted Life Part 1 ...the cool swishing song of the trees: a music sweeter than anything else in the world, a music that can be seen-profusely green, leaf on leaf, atremble-and a music that can be smelled, clover fresh, somehow sharp, and supremely rich.

I found this book very interesting because it provides Kerouac fans with the missing novella that preceded Town and City and I really enjoyed the letters from Jack's father. Highly recommend this book to Kerouac fans.
