'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 recognized
as a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman
than F. Scott Fitzgerald's, and the narrative goes racing towards the sunset
with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion.
