One of my projects this summer is mentoring my student Mike Gálvez, who won an ATP research grant to make a series of short documentaries whilst on the Great American Road Trip with his buddy Trevor. One of the books we're reading this summer as part of his foundational research is Jack Kerouac's On the Road. And this time through, as I read this at HOME in my HOUSE that looks over a GOLF COURSE (what would JK say?!), I find myself using the Internet to make the book more of a hypertext: MySpace pulls up tracks like Charlie Parker's "Orinthology" (1946); Google Maps bring up towns like Ogallala, NE in an instant.
So now I just need to find the origins of the phrase "Pisscall!" on Wikipedia...
