Sulla strada

Less about the road and more about the destination. A celebration of lying, cheating, and stealing with occasional poetic reflections and description of scene. Characters have a case of the grass is greener while maintaining empty pursuits of sex and alcohol. Now get off my lawn!

Ve výsledku se mi kniha líbila, ale zas tak moc nevím proč. Něco na tom zkrátka bylo, velmi se mi líbil český překlad a zpracování jazyka.

very interesting understandable that it’s a classic. at the same time boring, and i feel at the end the book becomes too cyclical, maybe keroacs intention but it rings to tired for me. there are amazing parts and overall the book is well written, sometimes things drag along and then when the book returns to the same part different location it still drags.

«(...)the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!»

«(...) and I realized the jungle takes you over and you become it. Lying on the top of the car with my face to the black sky was like lying in a closed trunk on a summer night. For the fisrt time in my life the weather was not something that touched me, that caressed me, froze or sweated me, but became me. The atmosphere and I became the same.»
