First Sentence
ONCE I WAS YOUNG and had so much more orientation and could talk with nervous intelligence about everything and with clarity and without as much literary preambling as this; in other words this is the story of an unself-confident man, at the same time of an egomaniac, naturally, facetious won't do-just to start at the beginning and let the truth seep out, that's what I'll do-. Lire la première page

5.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing masterpiece of american lit, Mars 14 2004
Par philip hoffman (ballwin, missouri United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Subterraneans (Paperback)
This and Big Sur prove to me that Kerouac was worth all the hype. I as most started with On the Road. but soon graduated on to real literature. OTR and Dharma Bums were great reads, but each was fake self grandising fare. This book and Big Sur were gut wrenching tales of truth.

Many have said they had trouble reading or uderstanding this book due to the style it was writtem The first time I read this book I drank more than jack on a 3 day binge, and could still follow the story. If you had problems that has something to do with you, not the way this masterpiece was written.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A story well told despite the rambling, Déc 22 2003
Par Chris (Washington state, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Subterraneans (Paperback)
I don't know what you'd call the prose style of this book. It seems to be a "stream of consciousness" style where Kerouac tells a story and includes all of his related thoughts as he is telling the story, whether those related thoughts are intelligible to the reader or not.

I'm not a fan of styles of novel writing other than the standard format of normal sentences and paragraphs(such as that found in ON THE ROAD). Jack rambles on and on at times for two pages in this book without the benefit of a paragraph or a period breaking his flow.

But regardless of its difficult style which makes somewhat less effective than it could be, the story is presented with skill and coherence. Jack is able to evoke coherent human feeling through his writing, in the midst of the rambling .

This story written in and set in early 1950's San Francisco. It is based apparently on a true story, the love of Kerouac, who in the story is called Leo Percepied with a half-Cherokee half-black mentally unstable bohemian lady whom is called Mardou Fox. Mardou is portrayed as a tragic figure, a very beautiful lady, a sex object of the junkies and raffish intellectuals that Kerouac knows, abused and neglected in her childhood, full of the spirit and sadness of the Native American and the African American. I suppose the best writing is towards the end of the book. Here we actually see paragraphs to break the rambling and periods! Here the story becomes more coherent and the reader sees Leo reaching the climax of his struggle as his jealousy and unreliability and alcoholism takes its toll on his relationship with Mardou. He never 100 percent certain about whether he wants to be with Mardou. Mardou herself is a sometimes real, sometimes hard to grasp, a distant figure. The best part of the book is Leo (Kerouac). In his flaws and his actions the reader is able to grasp his humanness. I felt some empathy for him. I liked the part where he is at the railyard ,weeping, and reflecting on his mother and upbraiding himself for being unreliable.
