"On The Road" - Jack Kerouac
I have been feeling a little embarrassed to ask this here actually but finally put fingers to the keyboard.
Did anyone else who read this find it really difficult?
I wonder if I'm having so much trouble going from chapter to chapter because I'm not from the USA and so much of the narrative is lost on me? What am I missing? Is it a tiny snip of history of the '50's over there for real or is it distorted?
I find it uncomfortable reading and awfully sexist (amongst other things) actually. I guess it's because of the time when it was written?
So many questions. I would love to hear from anyone who has read this book.
