The things he sees and thinks and writes, they're gorgeous, uplifting, insane, horrific, and sometimes bleak beyond belief. Of course, from somewhere and someone there will be, but with the same kind of sincerity and authenticity that Kerouac delivers? I seriously doubt it. That is, if there can be any other piece of writing that could even come close to being comparable with Desolation Angels. This is not On the Road, and On the Road is nothing by comparison. Can you be in love with someone who died years before you were even a twinkle in the eye of the universe? I think so. I've spent most of it with my mouth - metaphorically - hanging open, and my heart perpetually glowing and breaking along with Kerouac's various and numerous highs and lows. This book is the best reason I can think of for anyone ever learning to read.

No angst-ridden, too-stupid-to-live heroine that thinks even on an alien world that she knows best and the hero? *just a sec-let me wipe all this drool* Yes, yes it's not something that's totally outta this world in the terms of imagination but the way it all gels together was brilliant. But the "selection" process? The idea of alien marriage? The intricate alien details? Oof! Mind-blown! What I'm trying to say is I have enough experience with the genre to proclaim I have never read something like this before!Ī Matriarchal alien society where men out-number the women 20 to 1? Sure, of course I've read the type before. It's always so entertaining to read all the weird, freaky, impossible things that people come up with but in UF or Sci-fi you don't have to justify any of it-if you do, great-but you don't have to and that is the beauty of it, things can be just the way they are just because you said so.Īt this point, I have read more than my fair share of alien romances and baring a couple exceptions they usually follow the same outline-they can be great just the same but just not original.
