About the Author
Jack Kerouac wrote a number of highly influential and popular novels - most famously the international bestseller On the Road - and is remembered as one of the key figures of the legendary Beat generation. As much as anything, he came to represent a philosophy, a way of life. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.
