Inspired by Jack Kerouac's adventures with Neal Cassady, On the Road tells the story of two friends whose cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience.

  • Go on the road with Kerouac

    Logan S. - 6 years 10 months ago

    This novel by Jack Kerouac is fictional but largely based on adventures and travels that he undertook in the late 40s and early 50s. It is an account of the growing post-war counter culture viewed through the eyes of someone living it. The style of writing in this novel is very unique and sometimes reads more like jazz than any sort of traditional English writing. An absolute classic. Highly recommended.
