On The Road With Al and Ivy: A Homeless Literary Chronicle

On The Road With Al and Ivy: A Homeless Literary Chronicle: On The Road With Al and Ivy: A Homeless Literary Chronicle - May 2021: The Original Scroll (like it's later published version) had an episodic approach to story telling, moving from one scene to another as it appeared in Kerouac's head, as opposed to events tied to a linear time frame. He spends time in the San Francisco Bay Area, for example, yet describes very little of what he saw. Days or weeks are often covered with a single sentence, yet many pages are devoted to conversations with a friend or friends, and if he's waiting for money to come via mail (or wages on payday), he'll just skip over to it's arrival and then the narrative becomes full again.
Wow! Have the people at Google fixed (at least partially) the "Blog this" feature? Now all they need to do to fix it completely is to bring the old one back, so that if I want to but three quotes into the same blog post I don't create three separate and superfluous blog posts!
