JAN KEROUAC: BIOGRAFIA

While working on her third novel, the fiction piece Parrot Fever, in Puerto Rico, her kidneys failed, sending her back to the United States and ending her travels. She died in 1996, after complications with her health. At the time of her death, she was involved in legal battles with Stella Sampras, Jack’s last wife, over his estate and was trying to get his grave moved to the family plot in Lowell.
Her father may not have acknowledged her much during his life. This did not keep Jan from loving him deeply and she lived her life in a similar manner to his. His influence on her continued after his death, as she struggled to ensure that his legacy would not be destroyed or sold off, piecemeal by his third wife’s family, for the money they could make. She was attempting to have his archives admitted to a museum so others could study his works and learn more about her father’s life and mind.

Cuando escribía su tercera novela, la pieza de ficcion Parrot Fever (Fiebre Charlatana) fallaron sus riñones, enviandole de vuelta a los Estados Unidos y terminando sus viajes. Murió en 1996, después de que su salud empeorara. En el tiempo de su muerte, estaba envuelta en batallas legales con Stella Sampras, última mujer de Jack, sobre la propiedades de éste y quería trasladar su tumba al panteón de la familia en Lowell.
Su padre no le había hecho mucho caso durante su vida. Pero esto no afectó a Jan para quererlo mucho y vivir de forma parecida a la de su progenitor. Su infuencia continuó después de su muerte, tratando de asegurar que su legado no se destruyera o fuera vendido, fragmentado por la familia de su tercera mujer, por dinero. Quería que sus archivos fueran a parar a algún museo así la gente podría estudiar su trabajo y saber más sobre la vida y pensamiento de su padre.
