Transcript

00:00I'd always dreamed of going west to see the country, and the things that were to come are too fantastic not to tell.

00:09Jack Kerouac wrote On the Road, and it is a contender for the great American novel.

00:14It was the product of years, of letters, diaries, drafts.

00:18It's one of the foundational texts for discovering America or discovering things outside of yourself.

00:24It's a manifesto of things that I had been feeling, and then suddenly Jack Kerouac made it real.

00:33Kerouac felt like an outsider. His family felt like outsiders, and he was always thinking, how do I fit in?

00:42Kerouac was such a figure of contradiction.

00:45There was this conservative side, and this other wilder free side. It was a constant tug of war.

00:52Sometimes what comes out in some of his works isn't sainthood.

00:57I don't think most women of this moment would be able to overlook the misogyny.

01:04Kerouac wanted to get out and experience something bigger.

01:07With all the savage irresponsibility that that comes with.

01:10We're so fascinated by people who live fast and burn bright.

01:15And it's not like a perfect book, but here we are all these years later, and we're talking about On the Road.

01:20On the Road's message was open yourself up to experience. Take chances. Gain knowledge.

01:32He sort of laid down, this is the way I did it.

01:36Now you do it your way.

01:37Going to college, going to my future, seeing what more of the world is like.

01:48I've only seen my dad three times in 50 years.

01:50This is not an easy visit, but it's a visit that I really have to do.

01:54Home is a feeling.

01:56I like to say home is where you park it.

01:58I needed a book like On the Road to say, you're okay.

02:06That's why it really resonates, it's because it's about trying to figure out your own road, your own personal path.

02:12It's about the trip, not the destination.

02:15Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me.

02:18As is ever so, On the Road.

02:20Free to love, free to move, free to speak, free to choose, or to believe.
