Tristessa is a novella by Beat Generation writer Jack Kerouac set in Mexico City. It is based on his relationship with a Mexican prostitute (the title character). The woman's real name was Esperanza ("hope" in Spanish); Kerouac changed her name to Tristessa ("tristeza" means sadness in Spanish and Portuguese).
This novel has been translated into Spanish by Jorge García-Robles, of Mexico City.
Allen Ginsberg, in describing the book, wrote, "Tristessa's a narrative meditation studying a hen, a rooster, a dove, a cat, a dog, family meat, and a ravishing, ravished junkie lady". In "Tristessa", Kerouac attempts to sketch for the reader a picture of quiet transcendence in hectic and sometimes dangerous circumstances. He chronicles "Tristessa's" addiction to morphine and impoverished life with descriptions tinged with elements of her saintly beauty and her innocence.
Early in the novel, Kerouac attempts to communicate his Buddhist beliefs. These beliefs become entangled as a metaphor in the unfamiliar culture and language that Kerouac tries to grasp and make contact with in the story.

Plot: Every rock star claims that music will save your soul, but what if you're hiding behind it? 'Sometimes' is the story about a girl named Charlotte. For the past several years, Charlotte can't separate her own real emotions from other people's music in her head. She withdraws from the world, only expressing herself in lines from pop music. The main reason for her withdraw is a failed relationship in the past she still can't get over and refuses to deal with. Even under the influence of a drug, she still finds herself unable to separate the real world from imagining herself in a music video. 'Sometimes' covers the day after a drug experience and her final realization about whose words are the most important to her.
