About this book

Nobody's Wife: The Smart Aleck and the King of Beats by Joan Haverty Kerouac. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780887393686.

It was 1950. Strikingly beautiful twenty-year-old Joan Haverty had arrived in New York City and was working as a seamstress. During a deteriorating attempt to reconcile with her lover, fate intervened when joan heard a strangers voice calling up to her loft from the street below-it was Jack Kerouac, needing the door unlocked so he could get to a party. Thus began Joans stormy romance with and brief marriage to the leather-jacketed archangel of the Beat Generation. She bore his tirades, his passion, his troubled poetic genius, and also bore his child while Kerouac was writing his great signature novel On the Road.
