ON THE ROAD JACK KEROUAC INTRODUCTION BY ANN CHARTERS "Just as, more than any other novel of the Twenties, The Sun Also Rises came to be regarded as the testament of the Lost Generation, so it seems certain that On the Road will come to be known as that of the Beat Generation." -Gilbert Millstein, The New York Times In its time Kerouac's masterpiece was the Bible of the Beat Generation, the essential prose accompaniment to Allen Ginsberg's Howl. Now a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Whitman than Scott Fitzgerald; and it goes racing toward the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy, and autobiographical passion. On the Road swings to the rhythms of fifties underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns, and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveler and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. "The first clear development of American Romantic prose since Hemingway, full of mad sexual comedy, beautiful widescreen travel writing, and long lyrical evocations of American childhood and adolescent memories" -Richard Holmes, The Times (London) "Spontaneous poetic energy... celebratory and defiant" -Malcolm Bradbury
