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.

Lo que leerás aquí obedece a una realidad histórica y geográfica, una realidad matizada por la imaginación, porque nací al otro lado del río Arauca, en el corazón del Amazonas venezolano, muy cerca del punto geográfico donde la realidad se recrea en la fantasía.
