"[James T. Jones] adds another dimension to the growing body of critical work on Kerouac. As he has accomplished in his very fine study, A Map of Mexico City Blues: Jack Kerouac as Poet, Jones enlarges the reader's understanding of Kerouac by placing his work in a European and American literary context, and creating new critical categories by which to explore the issues at large in Kerouac's oeuvre. By regrouping the Kerouac texts, Jones offers new insights . . . another window into Kerouac's world."—Regina Weinreich, author of The Spontaneous Poetics of Jack Kerouac
