On the Road

Just after his father’s death, Sal Paradise, an aspiring New York writer, meets Dean Moriarty, a devastatingly charming ex-con, married to the very liberated and seductive Marylou. Sal and Dean bond instantly. Determined not to get locked in to a constricted life, the two friends cut their ties and take to the road with Marylou. Thirsting for freedom, the three young people head off in search of the world, of other encounters and of themselves.

Critic Reviews:

• " This isn't a story of rock ‘n’ roll bad behaviour or larger than life characters, and in some ways that's refreshing. " – Gail Tolley

• " A subtly engaging look at the way a fast-forged relationship can sometimes be as brief, powerful and magical as the music that soundtracks it. " – Alistair Harkness

• " On a formal level, this is a subtle and clever piece of work. " – Geoffrey Macnab
