I provide a Jack Kerouac quote and you figure out the book (7th in a series)

 


This is the 7th 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:

That's because death,
Void, bleak,
And all those gray 
Worries I had
Are now my luminous
Love
& there's nothing
to say
PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES Fuck you all


Good luck! Remember our policy on comments (over there on the right).


P.S. For bonus points, name the other Kerouac work in which you will find the phrase, "Pretty girls make graves."

    Some of the Dharma
    & The Dharma Bums.

    Those two books have much text in common.

    Dave is correct. The passage is from Some of the Dharma. "Pretty girls make graves" appears in The Dharma Bums.
