The book is a doorstopper clocking in at nearly 500 pages long, and, like his more famous work, based on his own life. To account for such techniques - which permeate the otherwise disorganized and unstudied style of "On the Road" - readers can look back to Kerouac's first published novel, "The Town and the City," which was released in 1950 when Kerouac was 28 years old (per Britannica).
But the passage is not as wild and freewheeling as it might first appear, with Jack Kerouac employing classical literary devices - anaphora, parallelism - to create the sense of tension building before a sudden release. So reads one of the most famous passages from " On the Road," one of the novel's many ecstatic, performative climaxes.
