What They're Saying
Critics Review
“In [On the Road] Kerouac’s heroes were sensation seekers; now they are seekers after truth … the novel often attains a beautiful dignity, and builds towards a moving climax.”–The Chicago Tribune“In his often brilliant descriptions of nature one is aware of exhilarating power and originality … the entire cast of characters is presented with that not unrefreshing blend of naivete and sophistication that seems to be this author’s forte.”–The New York Times Book Review “Full of sparkling descritions of landscape and weather, light falling through trees, the smell of snow, the motion of animals … Jack Kerouac is a writer who cannot be charged with dullness.”–The Atlantic
