A 1957 novel by the American author Jack Kerouac, drawn from his own travels across the United States with Neal Cassady and others in the late 1940s. Written in a spontaneous, loosely autobiographical style and centered on the restless friendship between the narrator Sal Paradise and the charismatic Dean Moriarty, it became a defining text of the Beat Generation and an enduring emblem of postwar American countercultural wandering.
