Um par de ideias e umas quantas linhas, bem espremido. Uma “trip” que não deixa ressaca. Uma das melhores partes é ser curto.

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.

Tris and co's aimless existence as a cause of incessant drug use reminded me that aimless existences can arise from all forms of addiction. 2024 is when I'll reduce my screentime lol

A story about Jack's drunken morphined romp around Mexico City with his love that was not to be, Tristessa. It's very poetically written and takes a little time to get into the way it flows. This is mainly because I'm not used to that kind of writing. But it's a good piece and one of the better books I've read from Jack.

I realised I really don't like the stream of consciousness writing style after reading this. And Jack's (the name of both the protagonist and the author) drug-induced thoughts are incoherent and sometimes intelligible, that I don't even know what's going on half the time.
