With the same biting wit and honest as Kerouac's novels, Beat Generation portrays an authentic and alternate 1950s America. Kerouac's characters are working-class men—a step away from vagrants, but not a big step. His dialogue suggests spontaneous jazz riffs in its rhythm and restless philosophy in its content. Here is the genuine heart and soul of the zeitgeist that blossomed into the counter-culture of 1960s America and lives in restless spirits today.
