Never before published in its entirety, it has become an underground legend. Here is the America of the late forties and early fifties that Kerouac knew so well and celebrated so magnificently- the irresistible lure of the cross-country highways feverishly travelled by Jack Duluoz, the narrator of this book, and Cody Pomeray; the loneliness of diners and cafeterias and cheap hotels and 42nd Street bars; the small towns passed through quickly, evoking boyhood memories; the all-night wine-drinking and pot-smoking sessions, where the music was Billie Holliday and Lester Young and Charlie Parker all this sense of superabundant reality informed by the knowledge of mortality: Im writing this book because were all going to die... my heart broke in the general despair and opened up inward to the Lord, I made a supplication in this dream. Here are the members of the Beat Generation as they were in the years before any label had been affixed to them. They were the precursors of the new consciousness that flowered in the late sixties. It was in Cody, with his raw energy, his endless thirst for experience, that Kerouac found his great American hero. And it was Cody who inspired some of his most memorable and poetic writing..
