SLSL Intro "Centrifugal Lures"

[Dave Monroe]

"Against the undeniable power of tradition, we were
attracted by such centrifugal lures as Norman Mailer's
essay 'The White Negro,' the wide availability of
recorded jazz, and a book I still believe is one of
the great American novels, On the Road, by Jack
Kerouac." (SL, "Intro," p. 7)
