On the Road Part 4, Chapter 2 Summary
Sal very non-subtly tells us that, no matter where he is in the country, he never feels like he’s home.
He meets a guy named Henry Glass who has spent a lot of time in jail and reads the Bible.
Sal remarks he is mad like Dean, but without the saving grace of saintliness. Whatever that means.
They hang out with Dean’s old friends, Tim Gray and Stan Shephard.
Henry disappears, but he was fun while he lasted.
Sal relaxes and feels happy in Denver "because [he has] no dreams."
Sal is getting ready to travel on to Mexico, when suddenly there is news that Dean is coming along.
Very interesting: Sal remarks that Dean must have gone mad again, and has a vision of Dean as the shrouded traveler that pursues him.
