-On The Road*

W 1958 Jack Kerouac

Notes

On the Road by Jack Kerouac is a seminal 1957 novel that became a defining work of the Beat Generation. The story is a semi-autobiographical account of Kerouac's cross-country road trips with friends, including Neal Cassady, who is fictionalized as Dean Moriarty. The novel captures the spirit of adventure, freedom, and the search for meaning, with its spontaneous, stream-of-consciousness style reflecting the characters' quest for experience and self-discovery. On the Road is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of 1940s-50s America and its influence on counter cultural movements.
