The Subterraneans


 

The Subterraneans is a 1958 novel by Beat Generation author Jack Kerouac. It is a semi-fictionalized account of his short romance with Alene Lee--Mardou Fox in the novel--an African American woman in the jazz clubs and bars of the budding Beat scene of San Francisco. There are appearances from other well known personalities and friends from his other novels, such as William Burroughs (Frank Carmody in the novel), Allen Ginsberg (Adam Moorad), and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, owner of the famous City Lights bookstore in San Francisco's North Beach.
