Love the title and subtitle of the novel, though I am not a big fan of Kerouac or Beatnik culture. M.b. because I found out and read them only in 90-es, when they already lost their appeal.and disappeared from literary map. In Soviet Russia they were banned. We heard only their names.

They were some of the first postmodernists in American literature seeking to find the post war country and looking for it in all the wrong places.
I read them and about them and was very sad about Kerouac last years of his life and drugs problem.
A large number of creative people have had problems with neurotoxins. Kerouac was certainly one of them.
Thank you.
