Summary
On The Road, the most famous of Jack
Kerouac's works, is not only the soul of the Beat movement and
literature, but one of the most important novels of the
century. Like nearly all of Kerouac's writing, On The Road is
thinly fictionalized autobiography, filled with a cast made of
Kerouac's real life friends, lovers, and fellow travelers.
Narrated by Sal Paradise, one of Kerouac's alter-egos, On the
Road is a cross-country bohemian odyssey that not only
influenced writing in the years since its 1957 publication but
penetrated into the deepest levels of American thought and
culture.
