The Gospel According To Jack: Tracking Kerouac in My Life

"I'm enriched and uplifted by Steve Edington's intelligent meditations on Jack Kerouac. With warmth and insight, Edington delves into the spiritual and emotional dimensions of Kerouac's life and work. This book is a gift to all who cherish Kerouac's work-an introspective journey that honors the man, his art, and his profound sense of the spirit." Matt Theado.

He is Professor Emeritus at Kobe City University of Foreign Studies (Japan) and served as President of the Beat Studies Association (2021 - 2025). From the Foreword by Holly George-Warren: "In his chapter "Why Kerouac?," Steve Edington writes that he sees religion as 'the attempt to meaningfully locate ourselves in this vast and mysterious universe we inhabit.' For the past three-plus decades, Jack Kerouac has served as Steve's guide, as he traversed his own path as a seeker. He sees Kerouac as among 'the writers and poets and artists who best pursue these questions and challenges of existence.' You hold in your hands The Gospel According to Jack. Godspeed on your own journey."
