Gash Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thats most likely because "Lonesome Traveller" isn't a Jack Kerouac novel in the traditional sense (not taking part in the semi-autobiographical chronological series of works that Kerouac was going to entitle the "Dululoz Legend", inspired by Faust.) Instead it was a collection of journal entries and odds and ends. I think he may have even had bits of it published in literary magazines e.t.c but I'm not definate on that. Another example of this would be when Kerouac had "The Mexican Girl" published which was an excerpt from "On the Road" when he meets up with Terry.
