JAMES JOYCE AND JACK KEROUAC

“Joyce has a most goddamn wonderful book. It’ll probably reach you in time. Meantime the report is that he and all his family are starving but you can find the whole celtic crew of them every night in Michaud’s where Binney and I can only afford to go about once a week…The damned Irish, they have to moan about something or other…” — Jack Kerouac, in a letter to Sherwood Anderson, after reading Ulysses

“I know the secrets; I dig Joyce and Proust above Melville and Celine.”
― Jack Kerouac, Visions of Cody
