Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac was a journalist, novelist, poet, and a leading figure of the Beat Generation. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, to French Canadian parents, Kerouac became one of the preeminent countercultural voices of postwar America. His second novel, On the Road, initially faced challenges to publication because of its explicit content, but is now one of his most beloved novels. Kerouac’s spontaneous, confessional writing style has remained a significant influence on American culture.
