Media Reviews
"Now at last Kerouac has begun to fulfill the promises of humor and pathos that could be found among the goopy pretenses of his...other books...[T]he portrait of the beat monster trying to escape from his role, to regain his role, to grow up, to remain a child, is in focus, troubling and touching."
