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 70570 5349 1957 0 0 false Fri Oct 10 17:08:29 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 17:08:54 -0700 2008
