I somehow managed to skip Kerouac in school. I read this and feel better for it.

Interesting! Thanks for posting.

I missed Kerouac as well.

I had the misfortune to read Kerouac and William Burroughs in the early ‘60’s they sucked, I also read Bozwell, he didn’t. I read Proust in French and in translation he sucked in both languages.

A series is running on AMC or such called Mad Men. It’s a drama set during the heydays of Madison Avenue. I’d forgotten how much cigarette smoking we did back then.
