Randy Gue, Michael Inman, Elizabeth Ott, and Carolyn Vega
A lively panel discussion with members of the NYPL’s Berg and Emory’s Rose Library, which both hold substantial repositories of Jack Kerouac material. Carolyn Vega and Michael Inman from NYPL and Elizabeth Ott and Randy Gue from Emory all have a tremendous experience in archiving and working with Jack Kerouac material. Discussion will center on special considerations for preserving and utilizing such material and general experiences with it in the course of their work.
Ann Charters, Holly George-Warren, Joyce Johnson, and Regina Weinreich
Kerouac scholars Ann Charters, Joyce Johnson, Holly George-Warren, and Regina Weinreich will discuss their experiences with, and thoughts on, Jack Kerouac.
The four panel members are all noted Kerouac scholars and biographers. Ann Charters and Joyce Johnson knew Kerouac personally and wrote about him. Holly George-Warren is doing a new, comprehensive biography to be released soon, while Regina Weinreich has published several works on him, notably his book of haikus. The four will discuss their varying experiences with and/or perspectives on Kerouac, his life, and his work.
