    • This may thus be his first published work. It is eminently readable and assured. I have read many first or early novels that showed the influence of Jack Kerouac and I have often wondered why and if Kerouac was a direct or an indirect influence. Davis, whose second book it is that we are considering, mentions Kerouac so we may safely conclude that the influence is here direct.

    I bring this up because I always regarded Kerouac as a dull writer and most of those who labored under his influence seldom were much better. But Davis is a happy exception. He is not afraid of writing well and of using narrative strategies that employ artifice and sometimes art, methods that Kerouac rejected. Charlie is a young writer and student. In the course of his story he will have his first book published, rid himself of one woman and fail in his attempts to secure two others. Along the way, we will watch his friends drink, fight, smoke innumerable cigarettes and less licit material.

If you like Kerouac, If you've ever made a rug angel, If you've ever danced with abandon, If you've ever made a journey of the soul, If you've ever looked at the world through a haze of clarity Author josh davis certainly has a muse within See all 4 reviews.
