Jan Kerouac’s Baby Driver is a fever dream of freedom —
a road story told not by the father of Beat writing, but by his daughter, who only met him twice.

Born into chaos and raised by chance, Jan pinballed from New York to Mexico to the Pacific Northwest, chasing survival and meaning in the same breath.

Her debut novel, first published in 1981, turns that restless journey into something raw and luminous — a world of dead-end jobs, fleeting friendships, and motel-room poetry, where every detail hums with the scent of beer, peeling paint, and the wail of a passing train.

Not her father’s road, but her own.

Join , author of the introduction to the Classics edition of Baby Driver, and , essayist and author of The Catastrophe Hour (Notting Hill Editions, 2025), for an online discussion of Jan Kerouac’s life, writing, and legacy.

“We have to realize that you can’t call something a distraction unless you know what it distracted you from. The opposite of distraction is not focus. The opposite of distraction is traction. If you look at the origin of both words, they both come from the same Latin root ‘Traharai’ which means to pull, they both end in the same six letters ‘action’ that spells action, so traction by definition is action that pulls you towards what you plan to do. Things you do with intent, things which are in line with your values, and help you become the person you want to be.“ ~
