To be honest I found Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance tedious. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas I found to be a work of genius as all his writings were. Kerouak's Dharma Bums and On the Road were impportant but imature.

I saw where Tom Brokaw wrote a new book on the 60's and Hillary Clinton asked him: "have you cracked the code".

I was stunned by that question. As the code should have been a plain as the nose on their face.

The "code" of the sixities was that it was the "FIRST" major existential movement in the history of mankind. It always surprises me when these 'intellectuals" can't figrue that out.

I am writing a my turn colmune for Time or Newsweek now (if eithr will print it" explaining this code.

Kerouck's writing pointed to the existential idea, but he never really developed it like Sartre and Camus did.
