Sur la route a été composé en trois semaines, en 1951, sur un long rouleau de papier télétype, sans ponctuation. Le roman décrit la route avec Dean, mais aussi le jazz, l'alcool, les filles, la drogue, la liberté. Refusé par les éditeurs, le manuscrit est retravaillé par son auteur et publié plusieurs années après. En complément, des explications sur la genèse du texte.--[Memento].

Work Description

Described as everything from a "last gasp" of romantic fiction to a founding text of the Beat Generation movement, this story amounts to a nonfiction novel (as critics were later to describe some works). Unpublished writer buddies wander from coast to coast in search of whatever they find, eager for experience. Kerouac's spokesman is Sal Paradise (himself) and real-life friend Neal Casady appears as Dean Moriarty.
