      He was a dumbass but McCandless at least gave away his entire trust fund to Oxfam or something like that, so I'll take him over Kerouac.

        Kerouac grew up in a poor, immigrant family. He was just a contrarian, misanthropic asshole. The original "post-Leftist" as someone on Twitter called him.

        Jon Krakauer wrote the book. The kid was Chris McCandless. I used to hate that movie 10 years ago, but actually really like it now. Into Thin Air is a good book by Krakauer.
