Kerouac was a leading figure in the Beat Generation, a group of American writers who explored themes of nonconformity, spirituality, and social rebellion in the post-World War II era. His writing style, characterized by long, rambling sentences and stream-of-consciousness narration, continues to influence contemporary literature.
