Also, a bisexual/homosexual, he carefully avoided all such references in his writing. A shorty blurb:<br />"On February 16, 1952, Haverty gave birth to a daughter, Jan, whom Kerouac, consistent with his lifelong avoidance of responsibility, never acknowledged. He died in 1969, from complications of alcoholism.<br /><br />Kerouac's misogynistic tendencies and Catholic guilt made lasting relationships with men and women impossible, as evidenced by his short-term marriages and his casual attitude toward his male lovers (among whom were Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Alan Ansen and Gore Vidal).<br /><br />Kerouac's uneasiness toward his homosexuality led to his practice of omitting his own homosexual experiences from his books."<br />http://www.glbtq.com/literature/kerouac_j.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216251864761187830.post-38104202180094806232009-10-21T11:56:58.505-04:002009-10-21T11:56:58.505-04:00thanks deloney. me too!thanks deloney. me too!rundangerouslyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188751125953837745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216251864761187830.post-67007915074443428392009-10-21T11:44:13.509-04:002009-10-21T11:44:13.509-04:00Nice tribute.
