Tristessa, hell yeah! I'm also thinking Subterraneans, except for the big glaring prose spots that go windy-obscuro---or is that prose-poetry, I'm not sure? Somebody here mentioned Vanity Of Duluoz being a gem---I'll go with that and add, if I may with some reservation, Kerouac's The Scroll Version, if only for a gander at the actually unedited first sentence---and, if we're to take one of the writers of the intro, comparing it to a car engine that misfires before taking off. The myth of Dean and Sal alive and well in Twilight Series-America, ahhh.
"I first met met Neal not long after my father died..."
I too think ol' Buk was being a sort of sourpuss about Jack.
Well, you're doing a great job so far! Your "I agree" has crystallized everything, and now the whole subject really makes sense. I hope you stay here forever, and clear everything up for everyone.I came in here to [...] contribute to the topic...

I just wonder though, if you can spare the time away from your awesome blog where you write middle-school-report-quality reviews of 40 year old records. That worries me a bit. Hopefully you can do both. I will pray for your success, Goober.
Kermit, not everyone likes Kerouac's writing. mjp doesn't. Bukowski didn't. I don't. these guys don't:
get over it. and yourself. realize when people don't like what you like it's not a big deal. like what you like and don't be an evangelist, it's annoying.
and if you had read the thread closely, you would've realized why mjp was so vocal in his "hate" of Kerouac.
Some writers only have one or two decent books in them, and Kerouac was one of those writers. .
