Thinking Out Loud for 4/15/07

by at 12:54 pm.

On tomorrow’s Thinking Out Loud, we’ll have a “crash course on Kerouac” (in honor of the Kerouac scrolls coming to Lowell) with UML professor Hilary W. Holladay, Director of the Jack and Stella Kerouac Center for American Studies. If you haven’t read Kerouac but always wanted to, or even if you have read On the Road or other novels, tune in tomorrow to get the context and analysis of Kerouac’s work so you can put him on your summer reading list! I always find that it helps to have some study under my belt before taking on a classic piece of literature.

Your humble radio host has not herself read Kerouac yet, so this is as much an education for me as it is for you! Tune in at 10am tomorrow on WUML, 91.5FM, or stream it live.

  1. The Prince of Darkness Says:

    Humble Host: Skip “On the Road” and start with “The Town and the City”. Follow up with “Maggie Cassidy” and “Visions of Gerard”. Those are the “lighter” works and more local flavor. I had an uncle who used to drink with Kerouac (who didn’t?) and he showed me some cocktail napkins he would bring home. They would have little incoherent musings written by “this guy in the bar who thinks he’s a poet.” All signed by Kerouac himself. When my uncle passed away and we went through his stuff, no napkins. Just my luck.

    I’ve always been a “Dharma Bums” fan myself.
