New York · 1957 · citedOn the Road
Jack Kerouac
The book that turned a continent into a route. A young writer and his restless friend cross and recross the United States by car, bus and thumb, from New York out to Denver, on to San Francisco and the Bay, down to New Orleans, and finally in a headlong plunge south to Mexico City. The map follows that coast-to-coast spine and the last leg over the border.
