'I read On the Road in maybe 1959. It changed my life like it
changed everyone else's' Bob Dylan Sal Paradise, a young innocent,
joins his hero, the mystical traveller Dean Moriarty, on a
breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States.
Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink,
sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a
test of the limits of the American dream. A brilliant blend of
fiction and autobiography, Jack Kerouac's exhilarating novel swings
to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, racing towards the
sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and
autobiographical passion. One of the most influential and important
novels of the 20th century, this is the book that launched the Beat
Generation and remains the bible of that literary movement.
