A review by duparker
Tristessa by Jack Kerouac, Aram Saroyan

3.0

This book is not your typical Kerouac novel. It is sweeter and in some ways more complex. It is late period Jack, so it is stream of consciousness prose, and that can be odd, but the love story screams out, and the descriptions of being a junky are really moving. 3.5 stars.
