I found the book insufferable, albeit insightful. Because it’s based on Kerouac himself, I felt like it was more “I’m so fucking cool” rather than “I am self aware”

When I was a teenager, it was the type of book young guys would say they really resonated with, yet didn’t see how selfish the characters were. It reminds me of the death of bunny munro - Nick Cave, which would be another left swipe for me, however it seems more self aware… still kind of cringe to read though
