Jack Kerouac tells of his travels across the nation, and the stories of fascinating characters he meets along the way such as Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg. A wonderful view of mid twentieth century life among the people who became known as the "Beats."

Jack Kerouac's classic beat novel is fun read, with stylish prose and quirky characters.
