Of Kerouac's Death
Reflecting on Jack Kerouac's death from Dharma Lion , a biography of Allen Ginsberg by Michael Schumacher:
For Kerouac, much of life was emptiness and illusion. "So he drank himself to death, which is only another way of living, of handling the pain and foolishness that it's all a dream, a great baffling emptiness, after all."
