Joyce/Jack/Words

Look!  In the middle is Joyce Johnson, Jack Kerouac's '50s-era girlfriend.  She's written two books about him.  I dropped in on this panel discussion on the way home from work.

We can't get enough of Kerouac as a culture, can we?  I need to think about why.  I've been thinking about Kerouac since I was 19.  The other day, one of my online students said that she loved On the Road, which I found remarkable because my students tend not to be readers, by their own admission.

I haven't see the movie yet, starring KStew yet, have you?
