The most beautifully executed,the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by thegeneration Kerouac himself named years ago as "beat"
Pop writing at its best. It changed the way I saw the world,making me yearn for fresh experienceOn the Road sold a trillion Levis and a million espresso machines,and also sent countless kids on the road
