Jack Kerouac had come to New York on a football scholarship to Columbia and took courses at the New School on the GI Bill. But what shaped him was not so much academia as the writers, artists and musicians he met at places such as the San Remo and the Cedar Tavern, the Eighth Street Bookshop, the Record Changer Store on Greenwich Avenue, the Village Vanguard, and the poetry readings in the East Village \u2013 all places that his old friend David Amram \u2013 with whom Kerouac brought jazz+poetry to New York City \u2013 describes as being part of the great \u201cuniversity of hangoutology.\u201d<\/p>\n

A distinguished panel, including Amram and Joyce Johnson--both of whom knew Kerouac well and have written about him extensively--and poet, performer and professor Anne Waldman, plus award-winning biographer Holly George-Warren, who is currently at work on a new study of Kerouac, will offer their recollections and insights into this seminal figure of American literature. There will also be time for questions.<\/p>\n
