In his first frankly autobiographical work, Jack Kerouac tells the exhilarating story fo the years when he was writing th books that captivated and infuriated the public, restless years of wandering during which he worked as a railway brakeman in California, a steward on a tramp steamer, and a fire lookout on the crest of Desolation Peak in the Cascde Mountains.

Editorial Reviews

New York Times Book Review
"Kerouac's nerve-ends vs. the universe, [with] flashes of poetry, truth, daffiness."
The New Yorker
"...jazzy impressionistic prose."

    Stylistik rightin bowt bummin rown merika

    The title above gives a fair summary of Kerouac's writing style. He writes, I assume, phonetically like those around him during his transient life. This short book covers each of his brief stints during the 1950s as he tries on different impoverished lifestyles. These are: transient bum, Mexican indian pyote smoker, railroad worker, merchant marine, New York beatnik, forest ranger, and backpacking in Europe. Kerouac writes descriptively, often using a continuous stream of thought in that same phonetic train as this review's title. So, it can be hard to read at times. But if you have a sense of adventure, then it is certainly engaging. I presume he grew up in a fairly protected environment during the Great Depression and was seized with a growing fascination in the life of America's impoverished masses since that time. So, after years of schooling he finally decided to try that life on for himself. All in all, it's a unique book well worth reading. His phonetic writing style is especially prevalent in a couple of the first few chapters of the book. I sometimes found it difficult to read, but the remaining text is quite enjoyable.
