Jack Kerouac is remembered as a rootless rebel, but he frequently wrote about his French-American family- many of whom lived in Nashua. We'll hear about Kerouac's Nashua connection, and the two sides of his life and work, from Kerouac scholar and Unitarian minister Stephen Edington.

Today is Kerouac's birthday and the organization Lowell Celebrates Kerouac is hosting a celebration tonight at Capo's in Lowell.
