A review by emma_ireland
Tristessa by Jack Kerouac

2.0

I love Kerouac, but Tristessa left me frustrated, irritated, bored, and cold. All the five star reviews on here make me feel I'm missing something, and I'll leave it a few months and give it another go (as I commented elsewhere, I find Kerouac gets better and better with re-reading), but my initial impression after finishing it for the first time is: what a ramble.
