Here we first encounter Jack Duluoz. He is sixteen years old; he is a track champion and a great football player; and he is in love with Maggie, a seventeen-year-old from the dreamy, spring-filled group... Later, we will find him on the streets of the Western States of America, and then on paths of existential anxiety and searching. This was Jack Duluoz, Jack Kerouac. His beginnings, the thrilling relationships of his adolescence, which are somewhat like our own teenage years... And the nostalgia for the years that have gone by, for what came and passed; for a legendary generation that left an indelible and always fresh mark on the eternally young of the planet.
A great artist naturally has many masks, contradictory and conflicting, and this is clearly evident throughout Kerouac's work. In Maggie Cassidy, he vividly presents the world of childhood at the crucial point that connects to adolescence, and transports us to a magical realm through detailed descriptions that are pure poetry and reveal his great talent.
