Hi, so I don’t like Kerouac. But I do understand he’s brilliant in ways I cannot even understand. He captured an experience of life that forever changed my perspective of the U.S. post WW2. Oddly I discover him through a film known as “Everybody Wants Some” (2016-I think?). It’s not a great film but one of the more educated fellows in it is reading Desolation Angels ( which I haven’t read yet, I only got through On The Road a year ago) and I got curious. I guess I wanted to say how odd it is, that films that are meant to encourage joys of crude humour reveal authors that had an interesting story to tell. I won’t soon be forgetting Dean Moriarty, though the long chapters after three days of insomnia studying for my MA will haunt me forever. So yeah, seemed like a cool guy. Not an author I liked, but one I felt, compared to most, had something to say. Now back to my usual self - let’s all eat garlic bread!
