In 2009 Weaver published ''The Awakener: A Memoir of Kerouac and the Fifties''. Jack Kerouac (1922–1969) was a prominent writer and poet of the Beat Generation. In her review in ''The New York Times'', Tara McKelvey wrote "Kerouac’s soul lives on through many people — Joyce Johnson, for one — but few have been as adept as Weaver at capturing both him and the New York bohemia of the time. He was lucky to have met her." Provided by Wikipedia
