Facts about
In 1958, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer paid Jack Kerouac $15,000 (approximately $100,000 in 2006 dollars) for the rights to his book. Kerouac used the money to buy a house in Long Island, the first he had ever owned.
Barry Miles, in his 1999 biography "King of the Beats", claims that "Subterraneans" author Jack Kerouac suffered from an Oedipal complex in which he replaced his father Leo as his mother's faux-"husband". Kerouac always returned to his mother Gabrielle (called "Memère") after his adventures, and wound up living with her permanently after the success of "On The Road" gave him enough money to buy a house. Kerouac's friends, such as William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg were aghast that Jack was bound so tightly by his mother's apron strings, thinking it kept him emotionally retarded. He failed to have a deep, lasting relationship with any of his wives or any other woman (his last wife, Stella, was described by most as being a kind of household slave abused by both Jack and "Memère"). Kerouac defended himself, saying he made a solemn oath to his father Leo on his deathbed to take care of his mother, though it was unlikely he meant that Jack should forgo having a stable marriage of his own and live with "Memère" for the rest of his life. On her part, Memère kept Kerouac infantalized, with his own blessing: She opened his mail and forbade certain of his friends from visiting her home (and Jack's home), such as Ginsburg, who had known him all their adu Diahann Carroll was considered for the role of Mardou.
