About This Novel

"The Beat Generation" is a play by Jack Kerouac, the most influential king of "Beat literature" in the United States. It narrates the protagonist Jay Buck, a famous character in Kerouac's literary works and his alter ego. As an entry point, in a seemingly casual dialogue, it radiated the mentality of a large number of young people in the United States in the 1950s. Buck in "The Beat Generation" always wants to seize the real enjoyment of life and only pursue the present. In fact, their thoughts are sublimated in the body of absolute freedom, giving the world the courage to face reality amid the sadness and disappointment of the United States after the war. This was also a typical characteristic of the "Beat Generation" in the United States at that time. This script echoes Jack Kerouac's classic "On the Road" both textually and ideologically.
