内容简介
As he roams the US, Mexico, Morocco, Paris and London, Kerouac
records life on the road in prose of pure poetry. Standing on the
engine of a train as it rushes past fields of prickly cactus;
witnessing his first bullfight in Mexico while high on opium;
meditating on a sunlit roof in Tangiers or falling in love with
Montmartre - Kerouac reveals both the endless diversity of human
life and his own particular philosophy of self-fulfillment.
