Kerouac's debut novel is a great coming of age story which can be read as the essential prelude to his later classics. </strong><br/>Kerouac draws on his New England mill-town boyhood to create the world of George and Marguerite Martin and their eight children, each endowed with an energy and a vision of life. <em>The Town and the City</em> is vividly drawn with poetic prose, lacking the stream-of-consciousness style of his later works. Fans of Kerouac as well as Steinbeck, will be enthralled by this dramatic family saga capped by a final scene that poignantly sets up <em>On the Road.</em>
