Description
The coming-of-age story follows Peter Martin, a college track star determined to idle away what he knows will be one of his last innocent summers in his tranquil New England hometown. As the war escalates in Europe and his two closest friends plot their escapes, he realizes how sheltered his upbringing has been. Surveying the competing influences of his youth, he struggles to determine what might lead to an intellectually authentic life. The story becomes a meditation on intellectual truth, male friendship and the desire for movement, all themes that would dominate Jack Kerouac’s later work.
