This entry in The Literary Encyclopedia focuses on Kerouac's experimental project Book of Dreams (1960). The article covers the main themes developed in the book, and explores Kerouac's stylistics -- especially the interplay between the recollected images flashing through the mind and their transcription in writing form. The article also investigates issues of reception and offers a brief interpretation of Kerouac's project, replaced in the context of The Duluoz Legend.
