. . . Odd how little I've read of Kerouac. (Think how On the Road's
become, among other things, an adventure book for teen-aged boys. Not
unlike Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. So that two
of the essential works of literature norteamericano rustle up into
the academy under cover of "dismissible" genre. One'd put Catcher in
the Rye there, too. Might go a way towards explaining Pynchon's
goofing with the "Chums of Chance" and the airship Inconvenience in
Against the Day--dime novel for boys material.) . . .
