Description
The Subterraneans is an autobiographical Beat love story, a hipster romance. It is a very simple book. Boy meets girl. Then, right away, problems.
Praise For The Subterraneans…
"The first clear development of the American Romantic prose since Hemingway, Kerouac's writing is full of mad sex, comedy, widescreen travel writing, and long lyrical evocations of American childhood and adolescent memories."—The Times (London)
"Kerouac's work represents the most extensive experiment in language and literary form undertaken by an American writer of his generation."—Ann Douglas
"Each book by Kerouac is unique, a telepathic discord. Such rich, natural writing is nonpareil in the later twentieth century."—Allen Ginsberg
"An outsider in America, Jack Kerouac was a true original."—Ann Charters
