Looking for /lit/ which is similar to this or has themes to do with the American dream and finding one's identity.

Cheers /lit/

Anything else by the same fag. Big Sur.
"one time I knew this guy named Neal Cassady is was really cool and I always wanted to suck his dick, you know how some guys are like that. I sucked his dick on a train and his cum was like the sweet melody of a negro blowing on a jazz trombone. I wish I was a negro."

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 22 00:22:45 2010 No.949970 Basically any Fitzgerald. Especially Gatsby and This Side of Paradise; being the only novels of his I've read...

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 22 00:23:45 2010 No.949971 >>949948 Thanks for liking my summary. I'm thinking of expanding it into a full length novel called "On the Road to San Francisco". And Kerouac was a faggot. Read Gore Vidal's memoirs to find a delightful chapter about how he fucked Kerouac in the ass.

I love him. I think he was just great, I think he was one of those people who wasn't really a winner, and wasn't really the coolest person in his group of friends, but he had a lot of appreciation for them, and for life. Maybe because of it. I've read all his depressing lovely nonsense, and I think he really did see true beauty in people and the way things are, depressing and pointless as they may be (as they have to be), and to the heart of things, and he did the best he could to share it and deal with it.

Indeed, one of the things that makes him a great American novelist is that he's looking on, to an extent, on friends like Burroughs who are more radical, who will take the novel further out than he could, but he's just more approachable, he wants to change the world by praising it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 22 01:50:45 2010 No.950324 On the Road has nothing to do with the American Dream. It's a bunch of drugged up hippies riding around to meet more stupid drugged up hippies. Kerouac sucks.
