On a rainy night in San Francisco, just before Thanksgiving in 1959, Jack Kerouac, Lew Welch and Albert Saijo piled into Welch's car and set off on a cross country trip, headed for New York City and then on to Kerouac's mother's home on Long Island. Trip Trap is a record of that journey, notes from the road by three of the central figures of the Beat Movement as they shared booze and coffee and peanut butter sandwiches, talking and singing and versifying while the country slipped by out the window. Here are the haiku that Kerouac, Saijo and Welch jotted down in notebooks, along with a recollection of the trip written by Saijo in 1973, a section from Welch's unfinished novel that describes the trip and the return, and Welch's early 1960 letters to Kerouac that continue the bond of friendship forged during those days on the road together. |
