Jack Kerouac was a pioneer of the Beat Generation, and a counterculture icon. He is remembered for his method of spontaneous prose. His novel On the Road was groundbreaking, and captured the spirit of its time as few others had. It is considered a defining work of the postwar Beat and Counterculture generations, with its protagonists living life against a backdrop of jazz, poetry, and drugs. Key figures in the Beat movement, such as William S. Burroughs (Old Bull Lee), Allen Ginsberg (Carlo Marx) and Neal Cassady (Dean Moriarty) are represented by characters in the book, including Kerouac himself as the narrator Sal Paradise. A rare and sought after modern classic!
