Sur la route a été composé en trois semaines, en 1951, sur un long rouleau de papier télétype, sans ponctuation. Le roman décrit la route avec Dean, mais aussi le jazz, l'alcool, les filles, la drogue, la liberté. Refusé par les éditeurs, le manuscrit est retravaillé par son auteur et publié plusieurs années après. En complément, des explications sur la genèse du texte.--[Memento].

I bought a ticket for the first train.

That was it. I closed the book, talked to a friend about it, threw a few things into a backpack, and we bought a ticket for the first train leaving the station. It was around ’91 or ’92, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget. It was a book that marked entire generations, but nowadays, when everything is so certain and just a click away, that spirit seems to be gone. Until one day. Freedom and Fado.
