Jack Kerouac was a Beat Generation writer who took the nation by storm upon the publication of his novel On the Road. Kerouac's legacy and influence are explained via interviews with Kerouac's friends and contemporaries such as William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Herbert Huncke, and Edie Parker. Narrator Peter Coyote reads sections of Kerouac's (mostly autobiographical) books as an actor recreates scenes from Kerouac's life. 　　译文(2): 杰克 · 凯鲁亚克是一位“垮掉的一代”作家，他的小说《在路上》一出版就风靡全国。通过采访凯鲁亚克的朋友和同时代的人，比如威廉·柏洛兹、艾伦 · 金斯伯格、赫伯特 · 亨克和伊迪 · 帕克来解释凯鲁亚克的遗产和影响。叙述者彼得狼阅读凯鲁亚克的部分(主要是自传)书籍作为一个演员重建场景从凯鲁亚克的生活。
