mesnitu reviewed Pela Estrada Fora by Jack Kerouac
I bought a ticket for the first train.
5 stars
That was it. I closed the book, talked to a friend about it, threw a few things into a backpack, and we bought a ticket for the first train leaving the station. It was around ’91 or ’92, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget. It was a book that marked entire generations, but nowadays, when everything is so certain and just a click away, that spirit seems to be gone. Until one day. Freedom and Fado.
