Tristessa é uma junkie decaída, viciada em morfina, que vive na Cidade do México, e por ela se apaixona Jack, o protagonista deste romance, um poeta norte-americano. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1960 e baseado em fatos autobiográficos (em 1955 Kerouac apaixonou-se por uma prostituta índia chamada Esperanza), "Tristessa" é um romance triste, de linguagem pulsante, cheio de ensinamentos budistas e repleto de compaixão pelo sofrimento humano.

Tristessa é um livro intimista, que evoca a qualidade da escrita de Jack Kerouac já conhecida de On The Road e Vagabundos Iluminados. Não sou fã de edições de bolso, mas a L&PM me surpreendeu. Todos os seus livros são de ótima qualidade

Adoro Jack Kerouac!
Um livro rápido sobre um grande afeto e morte de um amor: TRISTESSA.
Jack conhece Tristessa no México, como sempre alcoolizado e usando drogas, la se apaixona e não consegue assumir o corpo sensual dele. Morre triste!

Muito psicodélico! Talvez pelo gênero, muito sujo e desagradável de ler. Não recomendo. Tive muito trabalho -ara terminar a leitura.
