We Ate the Road Like Vultures

Lulu, a teenage Australian runaway on a unlikely mission, knows bullshit when she hears it and she¿s hearing it from the two `ornery old geezers she discovers living with an Alaskan moose named Capote, and Salinger, a suicidal circus elephant, on a remote Mexican hacienda. She is on a quest that has taken her halfway around the world¿hitching rides, sleeping at truck stops and generally trying to evade Interpol¿to prove that `Chicco¿ and `Carousel¿, with their stained kaftans and hesitant prostates, were once better known as Jack Kerouac and his muse, Neal Cassady.
