by Jack Kerouac
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play, noting its unconventional structure and disjointed scenes. While some appreciate the insights into Kerouac's life and the Beat Generation, others find it lacking in plot and coherence. Many agree it is not one of Kerouac's stronger works, but for fans of the era, it offers a unique perspective.
Captures the Beat Generation spirit Unique insights into Kerouac's life Engaging dialogue Lacks plot and character development Disjointed and difficult to follow
Synopsis
A lost work and original play by Jack Kerouac available to the British public for the first time.
It follows a day in the lives of a group of rugged off-duty railroad brakemen as the drink, bet on the horses and generally 'chew the fat'.
