thougts on kerouac's work other than on the road?

I read the whole "Road Novels" collection that Library of America put out. They're equally entertaining as On the Road if you like Kerouac. It's a shame he never found a sustainable way to live. It would have been interesting to hear what he had to say about the changes that happened in America after his death. I would also like to hear his reaction to Bukowski's criticism.
I tried reading Big Sur, but found it a drag. It's the first book he published after he became a celebrity, so you can see the damage it did. He was definitely one of those cursed poets... but I prefer Bukowski. I'd rather be sly than stupid.
daily reminder that if you think kerouac is good you are an uncultured pleb.
