This is the book, years ago, that helped me to finally “get” Kerouac and his work. I had already read On the Road and Dharma Bums and enjoyed them, but Minor Characters provides the deep, panoramic background of the genesis to the Beat Generation, adding a whole new reason to love the work. Joyce Johnson is a marvelous writer who lovingly illuminates previously unrevealed details of that mad, lovely, dark time when American literature took flight from the best minds of a restless, brilliant generation that changed everything.

Great writer. Great stories. Great production. You can’t go wrong with Etgar Keret. That’s no lie.

This is a wonderful book. Hemingway’s wives get their due and Hemingway is shown for the flesh and blood, fatally flawed man he was. It’s a must for Hemingway’s still vast legion of admirers, of whom I am happily a member.

Walter Tevis’ masterpiece is given its due in this riveting reading. Fast Eddie Felson is a quintessential American character, a little bit dumb, a little bit brilliant, and always on the make, searching almost unaware for a heaven that’s only a few long shots away from being real.

There is Barry Hannah and then there is everyone else. Those sentences. God. Ray is Hannah at the top of his game. Sabers, gentlemen. Sabers.
