#MarchMadness The #SadEnding I‘m referring to is about Jack himself rather than the books.Was it Catholic guilt,alcoholism, writers block ? He died in 1969 .While Burroughs & Ginsberg rolled with times & remained creative, Jack denied that the Beats lead to the Hippies , struggled with creativity & Falstaff beer.There is a Firing Line on youtube with Ed Sanders ,Jack , & William F.Buckley .It‘s weird, sad but Jack has a moment of something.👇

Someone I knew at uni had a band called Desolation Angels. I've never read the book in case the book's as shit as the band.

Desolation Angels has an odd place in Kerouac's real life timeline. It's his last big hurrah before his descent into full fledged alcoholism, straddling the line between starry-eyed free spirit Jack, and cynical, broken Jack. This lends it a melancholic quality that replaces the frenzied energy of his earlier work. In a way, its a farewell. A farewell that sees Jack at his most "beat", in every sense of the word. 8/10 stars.
