 | Kerouac by Allen Ginsberg, Ann Charters
Now that Kerouac's major novel, On the Road is accepted as an American classic, academic critics are slowly beginning to catch up with his experimental literary methods and examine the dozen books comprising what he called 'the legend of Duluoz.' Nearly all of his books have been in print internationally since his death in 1969, and his writing has been discovered and enjoyed by new readers throughout the world. Kerouac's view of the promise of America, the seductive and lovely vision of the beckoning open spaces of our continent, has never been expressed better by subsequent writers, perhaps because Kerouac was our last writer to believe in America's promise--and essential innocence--as the legacy he would explore in his autobiographical fiction.

There is no one in the woman's movement more renowned or pervasive in her presence, more long-lasting --or more contentious--than Betty Friedan. But what sort of person is she, really? Judith Hennessee, a wonderfully penetrating writer who lived through many of the events recounted in this book, has dug deep and come up with a story of a woman of many paradoxes, a woman who survived disastrous moments and who continues to this day to lead, to find new energies and crusades.

 | Somewhere for Me by Meryle Secrest
With a Song in My Heart, Some Enchanted Evening, Shall We Dance? and People Will Say We're in Love are but a few of the hundreds of standards composed by Richard Rogers, whose collaborations with Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein are legendary. This biography treats Rogers as an individual, drawing on interviews with theatrical figures including Stephen Sondheim and Shirley Jones, and extensive letters in which he addressed many aspects of his personal life, in particular the problematic ones, such as his marital infidelities and his alcoholism.
