He lay awake all night listening with eyes and ears.  A night of a thousand years.  Heard it in the womb, heard it in the cradle, heard it in school , heard it on the floor of life's stock exchange where dreams are traded for gold.\" —Henry Miller\u003cp\u003eOne of the dozen books written by Jack Kerouac in the early and mid-1950s, \u003cb\u003eMaggie Cassidy\u003c\/b\u003e was not published until 1959, after the appearance of \u003cb\u003eOn the Road\u003c\/b\u003e had made its author famous overnight,  Long out of print, this touching novel of adolescent love in a New England mill town, with its straight-forward narrative structure, is one of Kerouac's most accesible works.  It is a remarkable , bittersweet evocation of the awkwardness and the joy of growing up in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120885743856,"sku":"9781101548790","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101548790_p0.jpg?v=1763687709","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101548790","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
