Like nearly all of Kerouac's writing, On The Road is thinly fictionalized autobiography, filled with a cast made of Kerouac's real life friends, lovers, and fellow travelers. Narrated by Sal Paradise, one of Kerouac's alter-egos, On the Road is a cross-country bohemian odyssey that not only influenced writing in the years since its 1957 publication but penetrated into the deepest levels of American thought and culture.]]> 1742 3.72 70649 5354 1957 1 10 false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 21:37:56 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 16 13:38:54 -0700 2008 more...]]>
