10/10/16 review of novel Tristessa, by Jack Kerouac

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the novel Tristessa, by Jack Kerouac.

The thread gives some background on the novel. It discusses the character development of Tristessa, as well as Kerouac's idealization and romanticizing of her. The thread guesses at some of Kerouac's own reflections. It discusses the style shifts in the book. And it relates the book to Kerouac's Dharma Bums and Burroughs's Queer.

Here is the link to the Penguin Random House web page for the book.

I checked this book out from the Boulder Public Library in Colorado.
