* [[The Alcoholic]]: Kerouac died at the age of 47 due to decades of alcoholism.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Sal Paradise from ''[[On the Road]]'' is Kerouac. Kerouac uses avatars in virtually all of his novels, although for legal reasons, the names are changed from book to book. As a result, in ''The Dharma Bums'', Kerouac is named Ray Smith, and in ''The Subterraneans'', he is named Leo Percepied.
* [[Parody]]: Kerouac spoofed the Beat Generation in his 1959 work ''[[Pull My Daisy]]''.
