“He’d found a one-bedroom apartment of his own on Thirteenth Street, west of Eighth Avenue, but he still took most of his meals with Rebekkah and Alice. They shared expenses. Jack did the dishwashing since he really didn’t know how to cook. For the first time in his life, he realized, he was putting on a bit of weight—they ate a lot of pasta and went to cheap Italian restaurants like Monte’s on MacDougal Street. He decided to walk to work and cut out desserts, and he slimmed down quickly. If he ...made the slightest effort, the fat melted off him.The beat movement was just winding down and the hippies were emerging, but Jack didn’t feel connected to either group, though he liked his bohemian girls. They teased him for not being “hip,” which was the new vogue word. Once he let himself in and heard Alice asking Rebekkah, “Isn’t he a queer? Not that I care.”Rebekkah said, “Take it from me he’s not queer. I mean, he wailed on my body.” Jack thought it made him sound like a trumpet player.MoreLess Read More Read Less
