Reactions and Reviews
I’m a huge Kerouac fan and just loved this from the first time I read it. I love the way the quotes she selects are so right. To me, Jim’s a deep, dark character; on first impression, you’d never twig him for a Kerouac fan, and yet, Jack shared many of Jim’s characteristics.I loved the passages Martha chose to reflect Jim’s character; Blair musing on what they mean to Jim, wondering if Kerouac, too, had been a Sentinel… I love it that Naomi met Jack in San Francisco, though I wouldn’t have thought he’d be all that impressed with her! (Read ‘After Me the Deluge’ written by Kerouac in 1969, to see what Jack thought about hippies).
Like all of Martha’s stories, this is incredibly beautifully written. If you haven’t read this already, I highly recommend that you do.[1]
