Oh, Jack ...

...The battle for Jack Kerouac's estate.

‘Use my name’, Kerouac told her. ‘Write a book.’
Heartbreaking.

  1. In the new Paris Review Interviews IV, P. G. Wodehouse says, in response to a question about the Beats, and "Jack Kerouac, who died a few years ago":

    WODEHOUSE: Jack Kerouac died! Did he?

    INTERVIEWER: Yes.

    WODEHOUSE: Oh . . . gosh, they do die off, don't they?

    {Amusingly enough, Kerouac is also one of the interview subjects in the book.}
