Description: This photograph of Leo Kerouac, Jack Kerouac's father, was once kept in a locket by Gabrielle Kerouac, Jack's mother. It comes with certificate of authenticity from the Kerouac Estate. Gabrielle and Leo immigrated from Quebec, Canada, and settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. Their marriage was complex; while they shared love, they also faced challenges, particularly due to Leo's struggles with alcohol and temper. This dynamic influenced their children, especially Jack, who often reflected on his father's character in his writings. Jack had a close bond with his mother, who was a devout Catholic and played a significant role in shaping his values. The loss of Jack's brother, Gerard, at a young age further complicated their family dynamics and left a lasting impact on Jack's work. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the relationships that shaped Jack Kerouac's life and literary career.
