Jack Kerouac´s first published novel was The Town and the City, later followed by his most famous work, On the Road. On the Road is said to have captured the spirit of a generation the way The Sun Also Rises did for Hemingway´s era. Many of Kerouac´s other novels tackled the issues of his childhood (Visions of Gerard, Maggie Cassidy) and his spiritual journey in life (The Dharma Bums, Desolation Angels).
