On the Road is the second published novel of the American born French-Canadian author Jack Kerouac. The principle themes are travel, self-fulfilment, drugs, sex, jazz and a search for spiritual and physical comfort. It was published after Kerouac's first and more conventional novel, The Town and The City, which was heavily influenced by Tom Wolfe. Kerouac wrote a novel before either of these titled The Sea Is My Brother, which he disapproved of and therefore did not wish to see published. The Sea Is My Brother is set to be made available in late 2012.
