Set in the working-class French-Canadian community of Lowell, Massachusetts, the narrative unfolds through Jack Duluoz, a high school athlete reflecting on his adolescence. This semi-autobiographical tale explores themes of first love, youthful innocence, and male bonding among friends. Through vivid memories of his relationship with Maggie Cassidy, Kerouac captures the intensity and purity of young love. As Jack's journey leads him to New York on a sports scholarship, the story poignantly reveals the loss of innocence and the complexities of adult relationships.
