LJ is really taking it's time showing me your updates. I'm not sure what's the deal with that....
"The book that turned on the hippies. . . THE DHARMA BUMS. . . Jack Kerouac's barrier-smashing novel about two rebels on a wild march for Experience from Frisco's swinging bars to the top of the snow-capped Sierras. . . Here are the orgiastic sexual sprees, the cool jazz bouts, the poetry Love-ins, and the marathon binges of the kids who are hooked on Sensation an looking for the high. . . THE DHARMA BUMS.”
That blurb makes give me a little knot in my belly. If I remember right, Kerouac really disliked the fact that he was associated as a beatnik. If the cover above was the norm back then, I wouldn't blame him.
