Collected journal entries, both previously published and unpublished, by Kerouac who had “nothing else to do but roam, long-faced, the real America, with my unreal heart.” Connected by the common theme of traveling, Lonesome Traveler ranges over not only the length and breadth of the United States but “Mexico, Morocco, Paris, London, both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans at sea in ships, and various and interesting people and cities therein included."
