On the Road is known as a semi-autobiographic story, and Jack Kerouac admitted himself being Sal Paradise, when the journalists asked him if he was Dean Moriarty, who was actually inspired by another Beat hero and a close friend of Kerouac, Neal Cassady . Indeed, the connections between Sal and Kerouac are significant. Jack, coming from a French origin himself, created Sal as an Italian-American based on his life; when Sal lives with his aunt in New Jersey, Kerouac lived with his mother in New York. Sal Paradise is a widely known 20th Century fictional Beat character and one of the pioneers of modern fiction. |
