    Sad and beautiful
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2023*

In the process of reading all of Kerouac’s works, in chronological order.  This is the first one, as a child in Lowel

I read it in one night and cried for two days (No, I am not a relative).  This was my first Kerouac novel.  (I don't count The Hippos one co-wrote with Burroughs, though it was my first)  I think he wanted them read in chronological order, ideally, even though they were not published that way.  This is how I am reading them.  It makes sense to start from the beginning. This book pays homage to his brother.  I fell in love with Gerard and I think anyone who reads this will as well.  He reminds me a bit of myself when it comes to his love of animals.  It's a rather short novel.  Like I said, I read it in one night.  Great book.  I get misty eyed thinking about it to this day.

    This gentle, weary flesh
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2007*

Surely the most tender of Kerouac's many books, this reads more like an extended meditation than a novel as such, and draws the reader into its elegaic world of bittersweet memories & lost joys. Written at the height of Kerouac's immersion in Buddhism, it fuses both his Buddhist studies & his own Catholic upbringing to create a personal faith of both suffering & a sort of resigned wonder, contemplating the ephemeral, cloud-like events of Time from the perspective of a pained & puzzled Eternity. While a lovely memorial to his brother, it's just as much a revealing portrait of his own sensitive soul, battered by the needless cruelties of life, yet still astonished by its beauties. An essential book, not just for the Beat canon, but for all who ponder the contradictory nature of life on Earth. Most highly recommended!
