'The tender and achingly poetic account of a love affair' Lester Bangs,
Rolling StoneLeo Percepied, aspiring writer and self-styled
freewheeling bum, gravitates to the subterraneans, impoverished
intellectuals who haunt the bars of San Francisco. One of them is
Mardou Fox, beautiful and a little crazy, whose dark eyes, full of
suffering and sweetness, find recognition in Leo. But, afraid of his
growing involvement, Leo sets out to destroy their love.
Written in three days, The Subterraneans is, like all Kerouac's work,
closely related to his own life while encapsulating his great vision of
America.
