Ameerika kirjandus alates I maailmasõjast kuni tänapäevani.
First novel
wasn't a succsess. It's the prose bible of the movement. About young people who travelled to
get a kick. They are uprooted, they don't have any roots, they are searching for something but
at the same time they don't really know who they really are so they are looking somthing
from every moment. It gets boring fast. The storyteller is Sal Paradise (based the character on
himself, the book is full of parallels). A young writer, meets Dean Moriatry who is full of life
(Neal Cassady). The more people learn about Dean the more disapointed they get, heäs
selfish. The road is not symbolic anymore, they're just there for the pleasure. Finally Sal losed
faith in Dean as well. As a typical beatnik Dean wants to escape the aimlessness and
lonelyness in his life, he is afraid of death. Middle class, petty bourgeous, was not something
for them, they were disgusted by it.
