Description
From the most famous of the Beat writers and the author of On the Road and The Dharma Bums, Kerouacโs intoxicating love story of two young bohemians, now reissued in the centenary year of his birth
Written over the course of three days and three nights, The Subterraneans was generated out of the same kind of ecstatic flash of inspiration that produced another one of Kerouacโs early classics, On the Road. Centering around the tempestuous romance and breakup of Leo Percepied and Mardou Foxโtwo denizens of the 1950s San Francisco undergroundโThe Subterraneans is a tale of dark alleys and smoky rooms, of artists, visionaries, and adventurers existing outside mainstream Americaโs field of vision. Loosely based on Kerouacโs own life, and peopled with analogues of real-life friends, including William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady, The Subterraneans is a vivid and breathless masterwork of Beat literature.
