Based on his own travels across America, author Jack Kerouac tells the story of two friends whose four cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience.

This book captures the rhythm of a 1950s underground America, otherwise known as the "beat" generation, and its love of jazz, poetry, and drugs. Full of Americana and imbued with Kerouac’s compassion for humanity and sense of language as jazz, this novel looks at America from an atypical perspective. Warning: mentions of drug use.
