This is the video from my collaborative reading with David Amram at Cornelia Street Cafe on Labor Day. If you missed my full recap, you can read it here.
In the video you’ll hear me reading a section on Jack Kerouac’s time in Mexico, which gives some perspective on Kerouac’s faith, his sensitivity toward animals, and his tumultuous friendship with Neal Cassady. The book I’m reading from is my book with Paul Maher Jr. called Burning Furiously Beautiful: The True Story of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road.
Special thanks to my videographer Liz Koenig.
The event also picked up some press!
Larry Closs mentioned it in his article “Transcending Beat with David Amram.”
The Pappas Post mentioned it in “Stephanie Nikolopoulos and Jazz legend David Amram pay tribute to Jack Kerouac.”
