Jack Keroauc enjoys a bad reputation in the US and UK because he was a believing Catholic. There is no worse crime in the Anglosphere. Worse, he actually wrote a kind of Catholic mysticism. He annoyed prissy stylists like Truman Capote (who wanted to have sex with him, obvs).
His spontaneous writing style is misunderstood. “Just typing,” said Truman Capote (should be the virgin Capote Vs the chad Kerouac). He made extensive notes and did prep. Then he exploded outwards. He didn’t just “make it up as he went”. Trusted subconscious organisation.

Kerouac will be marginal because he doesn’t fully belong to Anglo civilisation. He represents France in the New World, though writing in English. He relates to John Kennedy Toole in this respect.
