Joseph Luzzi, professor of literature at Bard College, discusses how characters based on the writer William S. Burroughs, the poet Allen Ginsberg, and Kerouac himself embraced new cultural forms like jazz and experimental literature in search of meaning and artistic freedom. He also explores how “the road” itself becomes a symbol of the quest for new ways of living, thinking, and feeling.
