Description: On the Road by Jack Kerouac (1957-09-05) by Jack Kerouac 1957 second printing, Viking Press (New York), 5 5/8 x 8 1/4 inches tall black cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, white lettering to front cover and spine, top page edges red, 310 pp. Slight soiling and rubbing to covers. Otherwise, apart from very slight foxing to pastedowns and a couple of pages with very slight marginal soiling, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a moderately soiled, chipped, edgeworn and torn dust jacket which has a 3-inch tear to the rear cover which is crudely taped on the verso and a couple of small edge tears with Japanese tissue repairs. This is Jack Kerouac's second novel, a defining work of the postwar Beat and Counterculture generations, with its protagonists living life against a backdrop of jazz, poetry, and drug use. The novel is a roman a clef, with many key figures of the Beat movement, such as William S. Burroughs (Old Bull Lee), Allen Ginsberg (Carlo Marx), and Neal Cassady (Dean Moriarty) represented by characters in the book, including Kerouac, himself, as the narrator, Sal Paradise.
