'Mañana Means Heaven' revisits 'On the Road' tryst

Written By Unknown on Saturday, September 28, 2013 | 1:56 PM

Tim Z. Hernandez's new novel 'Mañana Means Heaven' delves deeper into a fleeting romance from Jack Kerouac's classic novel 'On the Road.'



Jack Kerouac's encounter with a "Mexican girl" he calls Teresa, or Terry, takes up about 20 pages of his classic 1957 novel "On the Road." He's at a bus station in Bakersfield when he first catches a glimpse of Terry, "the cutest little Mexican girl in slacks," with hair that was "long and lustrous black" and eyes that were "great big blue things with timidities inside."
