On the road
'On the road' swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognised as a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than F. Scott Fitgerald's, and the narrative goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion
