by Jack Kerouac
First published 1982
In 1959, Jack Kerouac, Albert Saijo, and Lew Welch hit the open road from San Francisco to New York. With Welch's Willys Jeepster as their chariot, the trio traverses the country, making the big city scene, visiting Kerouac's home, and eventually heading back West. Along the way, they jot down haiku, capturing the fleeting moments and changing landscapes. As the miles pile up, the bonds of friendship deepen, and the creative sparks fly between these three literary luminaries.
