Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), an emblematic figure of the Beat Generation, captured the spirit of the era in his novels. Notable works include “On the Road” (1957), a key work on travel and freedom, “The Dharma Bums” (1958), inspired by Buddhism, and “The Subterraneans” (1958), about bohemian life. Kerouac, also a poet, is recognized for his spontaneous prose.
