Lonesome Traveler

Most of the stories here are some of his best. As usual, it is not easy to get through his writing. But it doesn't take long to run into a literary gold, over and over again. It was only the Mexico Fellaheen story that I did not enjoy, it was difficult to spend time on, and led me to dropping the book, picking it up again only months later, pushing with effort through to the end of that story. Obviously a worthy effort, as the next ones were astounding. Kerouac's writing is pure, effortless jazz.
