Ten oosten van Eden
Ten oosten van Eden is een ‘Great American Novel’ over goed en kwaad, die zich uitstrekt van Californië tot Connecticut, handelt over lotgevallen van generaties én een moderne hervertelling is van Genesis. Samen met de Hamiltons bewonen de Trasks de Salinasvallei. Delen van deze Hof van Eden zijn vruchtbaar, maar de landerijen van de Hamiltons zijn dor en kaal. Tegelijk is de weelde van de Trask-ranch bedrieglijk: hun land verwildert en het huis brokkelt af. De broers Adam en Charles Trask voeren een onderlinge strijd zoals die van Kaïn en Abel, om de liefde van hun vader. Later zetten Adams tweelingzoons dezelfde strijd in verhevigde vorm voort. ‘Deze roman moet steeds herlezen worden, steeds opnieuw worden overdacht en heroverwogen’ – ***** NRC Handelsblad

Tristessa
Jack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1922. Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell, he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style, which he called 'spontaneous prose'. He used this technique to record the life of the American 'traveler' and the experiences of the Beat Generation, most memorably in On the Road and also in The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums. His other works include Big Sur, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, Visions of Gerard, Tristessa, and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.
