Seen through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, Kerouac’s last published novel is one of his most endearing — a portrait of innocence and adventure set against the open road of America. Pictorial Review Jackson — ‘Pic’ — grows up in North Carolina, and when his grandfather dies and he faces an uncertain future with another relative, his older brother Slim steps in to take him away. What follows is a journey by hitchhike to New York City and eventually all the way to California, a passage filled with hardship, kindness, music, love and danger in equal measure.
