À propos de cet audio
Few novels have had as profound an impact on American culture as On the Road. Pulsating with the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, illicit drugs, and the mystery and promise of the open road, Kerouac’s classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be “beat” and has inspired generations of writers, musicians, artists, poets, and seekers who cite their discovery of the book as the event that “set them free”. Based on Kerouac’s adventures with Neal Cassady, On the Road tells the story of two friends whose four cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience. Written with a mixture of sad-eyed naïveté and wild abandon, and imbued with Kerouac’s love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz, On the Road is the quintessential American vision of freedom and hope, a book that changed American literature and changed anyone who has ever picked it up. This edition commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the first publication of the novel in 1957 and will be a must-have for any literature lover.

I do not know any other way to describe how I feel about this book except for Yes Yassss! Will Patton brought Jack Kerouac’s book to life in my ears. I felt excited, confused and exhausted. I enjoyed Dean and his crazy distracted ways so much. I found myself laughing out loud by the things Dean would say. Yassss. Rarely have I listened to a book and felt the need to also read it. With Kerouac’s On the Road, I want to fully absorb it. I want to listen to it. I want to read it and I want to watch it. I want to experience it all over again in all formats. Yassss! Jack you had me at “I ate another apple pie and ice cream; that's practically all I ate all the way across the country, I knew it was nutritious and it was delicious, of course.”
And just a little bit from Dean. Yasss!
“Sal, we gotta go and never stop going 'till we get there.'
'Where we going, man?'
'I don't know but we gotta go.”
Ps. All you one star reviewers crack me up.
"I think of Dean Moriarty"
Fantastically done!

This ‘literary’ experience was like being a passenger on a long distance bus ride and getting blasted by endless verbal vomit spewing out of the mouth of a drug-addled, self-centered ignorant and disrespectful, racist grifter/loser. One word describes this book: YUK.

Instead OTR was a plotless self romanticized rambling that was complete bore.
The characters and story are as shallow as they are uninteresting.
I think I might have liked it i read it 60 years ago and was 30 years less mature.
The style and dialogue were both atrocious.
Some nice poetic description and good narration were the only positive things I can take away.
Shallow Bore

I love visiting the States, traveling the lesser known roads, and was looking forward to an audible adventure. Jack, let me down.
