About this Item

Review copy sent to Jack Kerouac, featuring ink and blind stamps from the Kerouac Estate. Includes prepublication material and Snyder's promo photo attached inside. "Earth House Hold" is a collection of Gary Snyder's prose on ecology, tribal traditions, and the interconnectedness of nature and culture. Published shortly before Kerouac's death, it underscores Snyder's profound influence on him. Snyder, deeply engaged with Buddhist philosophy, inspired Kerouac's integration of these ideas into his work. Fictionalized as "Japhy Ryder" in "The Dharma Bums," Snyder embodied simplicity and spiritual exploration, shaping Kerouac's literary voice and philosophical outlook. Their relationship bridged Eastern philosophies with the Beat Generation's quest for meaning in post-war America, with "Earth House Hold" reflecting Snyder's enduring impact on Kerouac and the Beat movement's ecological and spiritual exploration.
