By (author): Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac's Great American Novel, now in a delightful new Clothbound Classics edition

On the Road swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognized as a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than Scott Fitzgerald, and it goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion.

About Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac was born in Lowell Massachusetts in 1922. Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style which he called 'spontaneous prose'. He used this technique to record the life of the American 'traveler' and the experiences of the Beat Generation most memorably in On the Road and also in The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums. His other works include Big Sur Desolation Angels Lonesome Traveler Visions of Gerard Tristessa and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.
