Salon's weird sniplet on feminist road trips

I'm not ready to write about this yet--seems like, for instance, I should probably read the book--but I do have to say that it strikes me as something other than coincidental that one of the two "20-something" authors should have killed herself less than two years after this cross-country drive "redefining feminism".
I guess I keep thinking somebody should warn young people that life is hard, and that the answers we have not yet found are sometimes missing not because old people are stupid but because some of the questions defy solution.
Oh, and that there might well be a few barriers to becoming the feminist Kerouac and Cassady besides not knowing how to have fun.
