This book is written in roman à clef where real-life events are interwoven with fiction. Kerouac travels across America with his friends and becomes submerged in the beat culture full of jazz, drugs and poetry. His adventures are characterised with meeting people from all walks of society and the impact it has on him as they witness the raw shades of America which are not always glamorous.
