News on the Loos

[David Nevin Friedman]

It is hard to take a man seriously who not only sees NYC as a mistake, 
but sees an implicit sexuality in everything in this world, much less 
incestual sexuality....

But then again, I've always had a predilection to using Jack Kerouac as 
some sort of a guide, and not many people take him seriously...

Maybe it's me?
