pp. 182, “On a blind date in Greenwich Village set up by Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac met Joyce Glassman in January of 1957, nine months before he became famous overnight with the publication of On the Road. She was an adventurous, independent-minded twenty-one-year-old, who earned her keep as a secretary, but who already had a publisher interested in her first novel. Kerouac was running on empty at thirty-five, even before he was thrust into the spotlight. “I don’t like blondes,” Kerouac warned her the first night they spent together, but he kept coming back to her during nearly two years of restless movement.”
