Il suo mutismo si deve a una lunga abitudine, ma anche alla volontà di concentrarsi sulla costruzione di una nuova vita, nella comunità filippina in California dove è emigrata grazie all'aiuto dei suoi zii, Paz e Pol: anche loro si sono lasciati alle spalle traumi e dolori che ancora li inseguono, con un carico di ricordi, affetti, responsabilità di cui non riescono a liberarsi.

Prima di morire, il giovane ha il tempo di urlare un'ultima frase: "Guardategli nel telefono".

Jack Kerouac’s archive is vast. Throughout his life he was constantly writing, and he meticulously saved and catalogued his material. The result is that beyond the work published in his lifetime there has been a rich stream of posthumous writing that is far from tapped. This collection of previously unpublished writing culled from the Kerouac archive, and as a companion to Paul Maher Jr.'s Becoming Kerouac, spans Kerouac’s adult life, from a journal written at age seventeen to autobiographical reflections a few years before his death.
