tristessa


this novella is an amazing piece of writing. i myself have never read any Kerouac before this, but wow i'm a believer. the descriptions of the seemingly simply day to day grime in mexico city. he's in love with a junkie and the book is basically about how he watched her dissolve.

highly recommended
should only take a couple days to read, maybe even a day if your fast!
