This is the 4th in a series of posts where I provide a quote from one of Jack Kerouac's books and you figure out which one. Post your answer as a comment. Here's the passage:
I'll go light candles to the Madonna, I'll paint the Madonna, and eat ice cream, benny and bread--"Dope and saltpork," as Bikkhu Booboo said--I'll go to the South of Sicily in the winter, and paint memories of Arles--I'll buy a piano and Mozart me that--I'll write long sad tales about people in the legend of my life--This part is my part of the movie, let's hear yours
Good luck! Remember our policy on comments (over there on the right).
Almost certain that's from The Dharma Bums.
ReplyDeleteA good guess, Thomas. I'm looking for a different Kerouac novel in which this is the last paragraph....
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been over a week and no correct answer has appeared so I will end the suspense: Tristessa.
