It is 1952. Jack has written on the road and visions of Cody but can't get them published. Ginsberg is his agent. He's already released the town and the city but these new books are a new style, new form. He is smoking lots of weed and struggling with psychological issues. Working at train yards as brakeman. Feeling like a lost failure. Near resignation.
