Loop's End

Gibbs-Smith

In his latest novel, Chuck Rosenthal brings Jack Kerouac back from the dead, creating a posthumous novel in the voice of the legendary beat novelist. On the road again, Kerouac is back to deliver the message of death's existential loneliness, only made worse by what he finds on his return to compare it to. Rosenthal carries off the ambitious task, writing great lyrical passages, full of word play, neologism, compression, scatting, and riffs. He never forgets that Kerouac the free spirit was also Kerouac the writer.
