It dismays me how many idolize Kerouac. I've read him, the literary critiques, and the entire body of beatnik literature. How anyone can read the work and walk away idolizing the womanizing, self deception filled world of Kerouac is beyond me. Are you reading or are you idolizing because you've been told to idolize? If you idolize Jack Kerouac go back and re-read with modern empathy and you'll be ashamed.
