perry yturbide ... a very strange kid ...

"Perry smiling all glad - A very strange kid - It's been a long time in fact in my literary sort of life that I've met a real tough hombre like that out of jails and with those arms of steel and that fevered concern that scares governments and makes officials pale, that's why he's always put away in prison this type of man - Yes yet the type of man the country always needs when there's a little old war started by an aging governor - A real dangerous character, in fact, Perry, because tho I appreciate his poetic soul and everything I realize looking at him he's capable of exploding and killing someone for an idea maybe or for love."

(jack kerouac, big sur)
