Writer of the Liberal Tradition: Jack Kerouac

About This Novel
"Writer of the Liberal Tradition: Jack Kerouac" takes Jack Kerouac, a representative figure of the American "Beat Generation" literary and cultural movement, as the research object. Combining his growth experience, it combs the formation of his literary creation thoughts and explores the characteristics and value of spontaneous writing style. At the same time, it analyzes Kerouac's cognition and acceptance of Zen Buddhism in the context of Chinese and Western cultural perspectives, organically combines Zen Buddhism culture with Catholic thought, and expresses the psychological conflicts and identity faced by a Catholic who talks about Zen Buddhism. This thesis summarizes Kerouac's contribution to the development of American literature and culture, and explores his inheritance and development of the liberal spirit. This has profound implications for clarifying previous cognitive biases against Kerouac and objectively evaluating the value of his works and literary status; for deeply understanding the "Beat Generation" literary and cultural movement; for exploring Kerouac's acceptance of Zen thought, realizing the cultural interaction between self and others, and providing useful reference for research on the acceptance and spread of Zen culture in the United States.
