Tried to read "On The Road" a couple of years ago, gave up, couldn't see what the fuss was all about. Ugh, Kerouac.

I was wondering who would point that out about Kerouac. I once had a friend who did a performance piece entitled <em>Jack Kerouac was a spac</em> written in that same kind of Spontaneous Prose style... Kathryn I would have linked to Stewart's Facebook profile but Facebook is a closed.. err.. book... I love that you're getting dragged into the bloggy morass, Stewart. (M is far more resolute! ;) ) Thanks Tom. I was wondering who would point that out about Kerouac.

Capote nailed it when he said "That's not writing, that's typing." Good prose takes a bit of effort, Kerouac just took lots of speed. The Orwell essay is fantastic though - now there's a writer.
