  • Legions of youths have taken 'On the Road' as a manifesto for rebellion and an inspiration to grab a knapsack and hit the road. But there is much more to the novel than that.

    John Leland embarks on a wry, insightful, and playful discussion of the novel, arguing that it still matters because at its core it is full of lessons about how to grow up. It's a new take on Kerouac's famous novel, overturning many misconceptions about it and making clear the themes Kerouac was trying to impart.
