Overview

Los subterráneos es una de las mejores novelas de Jack Kerouac; en ella se precisa su voluntad de llevar a cabo una suerte de autobiografía literaria que será, al mismo tiempo, una crónica legendaria de la Generación Beat. En efecto, casi todo es aquí relato autobiográfico, «fraseado» con ese inimitable estilo sincopado que Kerouac aprendió escuchando en el Minton’s de Nueva York a los grandes del bop. Al igual que Charlie Parker, Kerouac improvisa en torno a un tema, y escribe de la manera más flexible, adaptándose en cada episodio a las resonancias que le sugiere el momento. La novela transcurre en San Francisco, ciudad a la que Kerouac llegó en 1953, antes de alcanzar la fama, y es un fresco de días y de noches habitadas por el jazz, el alcohol y las drogas, cabalgando entre la desesperación absoluta y las ilusiones más descabelladas, al hilo de una estremecedora historia de amor.

Written over the course of three days and three nights, The Subterraneans was generated out of the same kind of ecstatic flash of inspiration that produced another one of Kerouac’s early classics, On the Road. Centering around the tempestuous romance and breakup of Leo Percepied and Mardou Fox—two denizens of the 1950s San Francisco underground—The Subterraneans is a tale of dark alleys and smoky rooms, of artists, visionaries, and adventurers existing outside mainstream America’s field of vision. Loosely based on Kerouac’s own life, and peopled with analogues of real-life friends, including William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady, The Subterraneans is a vivid and breathless masterwork of Beat literature.

Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was an American author and painter and the central figure of the Beat Generation of the 1950s. His most famous books include On the Road, The Dharma Bums, and Big Sur. Several of his novels have been adapted into popular films. In 1959 Kerouac released his long-form poem, Mexico City Blues, which is his most important work of poetry.
