A chapbook by Gerald Nicosia Nobody is better qualified to write Jan’s Kerouac’s story than Gerald Nicosia. It is a 53-page chapbook containing his writings so far in a biography entitled, “Kerouac Princess: The Life and Work of Jan Kerouac.”A lot of the description here deals with her difficulties in obtaining her lawful share of her father’s estate, which ballooned to over twenty million dollars some fifty years after Jack Kerouac’s death in 1969Jan Kerouac died in 1996 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, right after she had had an operation removing her spleen.Despite receiving positive reviews for her two published novels, like her famous father, she did have her detractors.Before moving to Albuquerque, Jan lived briefly in Marin, near author Nicosia, who became a mentor and her champion in her battles with the Kerouac Estate. Haunted by her fahter's legend, Kerouac travels to Oregon, Casablanca, Tangier, London, New York, California, and Mexico as she collects lovers and husbands, indulges in drugs and drink, spends time in odd jobs and jail cells, and keeps the Beat flame alive.
