Like nearly all of Kerouac's writing, On The Road is thinly fictionalised autobiography, filled with a cast made of Kerouac's real life friends, lovers and fellow travellers. Narrated by Sal Paradise, one of Kerouac's alter-egos, this cross-country bohemian odyssey not only influenced writing in the years since its 1957 publication but penetrated into the deepest levels of American thought and culture. --Acton Lane]]> 1742 3.72 70234 5333 0 0 false Thu Mar 01 19:06:30 -0800 2007 Thu Mar 01 19:06:30 -0800 2007
