* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Played with; Kerouac famously despised it when people looked for symbolism in his books, but he was equally annoyed when people didn't get the religious themes that permeated most of his works. He was particularly offended by a journalist who remarked that he never wrote about Jesus, saying "[[BigStupidDooDooHead You're an insane phony!]] 'All I write about is Jesus.''
* MisaimedFandom: How he felt about hippies that embraced his works and the Beat Movement in general. He felt that they had missed the point of his works, misreading him as an aimless bohemian and reading leftist politics into them.

* CriticalDissonance: ''The Vanity of Duloz'' was Kerouac's most critically panned novel, and though it's virtually unknown compared to his far more popular early works, casual readers tend to prefer its simplicity. Critics also hated ''On The Road'', which is by far his most popular work.

The former, while still having its fair share of critics, is nowadays considered one of his better works.

* CreatorBacklash: Later in life, Kerouac came to resent the fact that the popularity of ''On The Road'' overshadowed his later novels, made worse by the fact that he believed that it wasn't even that good in retrospect.
