As he roams the US, Mexico, Morocco, Paris and London, Kerouac records life
on the road in prose of pure poetry. Standing on the engine of a train as
it rushes past fields of prickly cactus; witnessing his first bullfight in
Mexico while high on opium; meditating on a sunlit roof in Tangiers or
falling in love with Montmartre - Kerouac reveals both the endless
diversity of human life and his own particular philosophy of self-
fulfillment.
