A review by dweisbrodt
Tristessa by Jack Kerouac

4.0

I found this book surprisingly engrossing. I was at first thrown off by the stream of consciousness, but it became a good representation of an impaired person's experience. Jack's infatuation with Tristessa felt implicitly human in its extremity and futility, and a great representation of humanity and its struggle to deal with how illogical feelings can be.
