Items related to On the Road
On the Road swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America: jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs. It chronicles Jack Kerouac's years travelling North America with his friend Neal Cassady. As 'Sal Paradise' and 'Dean Moriarty', they are the living epitome of the Beat Generation, roaming the country in a quest for self-knowledge and experience. Now recognised as a modern classic, the narrative races towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and passion.

Review:
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 fictionalised autobiography, filled with a cast made of Kerouac's real life friends, lovers and fellow travellers. Narrated by Sal Paradise, one of Kerouac's alter-egos, this cross-country bohemian odyssey not only influenced writing in the years since its 1957 publication but penetrated into the deepest levels of American thought and culture. --Acton Lane
Review:
The most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat' (New York Times )
