A profile notes Jack Kerouac died at 47 from a gastric hemorrhage in 1969 while reflecting on the lasting impact of his work. More than a decade after his death his books remain in print and Hollywood shows renewed interest citing Kerouac’s open hearted, postwar vision of America. Ginsberg argues his message emphasizes tenderness and comradeship amid a looming militarized era, urging a national discussion of the American heart.
