THE SUBTERRANEANS
KEROUAC, JACK
u003cbu003eFrom the most famous of the Beat writers and the author of u003ciu003eOn the Roadu003c/iu003e and u003ciu003eThe Dharma Bumsu003c/iu003e, Kerouac's intoxicating love story of two young bohemiansu003c/bu003eu003c/pu003eWritten over the course of three days and three nights, u003ciu003eThe Subterraneansu003c/iu003e was generated out of the same kind of ecstatic flash of inspiration that produced another one of Kerouac's early classics, u003ciu003eOn the Roadu003c/iu003e. Centering around the tempestuous romance and breakup of Leo Percepied and Mardou Fox--two denizens of the 1950s San Francisco underground--u003ciu003eThe Subterraneansu003c/iu003e is a tale of dark alleys and smoky rooms, of artists, visionaries, and adventurers existing outside mainstream America's field of vision. Loosely based on Kerouac's own life, and peopled with analogues of real-life friends, including William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady, u003ciu003eThe Subterraneansu003c/iu003e is a vivid and breathless masterwork of Beat literature.u003c/pu003e
