Octavio Solis’s Reviews > The Dharma Bums > Status Update

Prose fresh and bracing as cool high mountain stream water.

"I told the boys I had a touch of thrombophlebitis, blood clots in the veins of my feet, and was afraid about tomorrow's climb, not that it would hobble me but would get worse when we came down. Morley said "Is thrombophlebitis a peculiar rhythm for piss?" Or I'd say something about Westerners and he'd say, "I'm a dumb Westerner... look what preconceptions have done to England."

"You're crazy, Morley."
