Kerouac's Scroll

Here's a novel that not only didn't set the world on fire, it didn't start a brush fire in anybody's yard that I ever heard about. I read it over the weekend, opening it for the first time in over a year. I like it. I'm proud to have written it. I put Kerouac's Scroll on my short list of my best work. My sensibilities are everywhere in this book, of course (two strikes against it right there ha ha), a story of male camaraderie, a road story following two old farts on the last adventure of their lives. I'm a fan, as one can be of things on the short list.
