What are some of the most important works by Jack Kerouac?

Some of Kerouac's most popular works

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).
