The Subterraneans



This is one of those books I have had for what seems ever. Ive read it a few times. loaned it out and by miracle got it returned. One of my favorites from Jack Kerouac. The mood in this book is different than his others. This book has a lot of jazz beat mixed into the text. I can recall picking up an old acoustic guitar and opening the book up to any old page. and just singing the words on the page. The Kerouac magic fell into place as song emerged, that can't be done with just any book. Thus the king of the beats does his thing, in this short little gem. Jack knew what to do with an old chair.
