What is the title of the 1953 novel by Jack Kerouac?

“On the Road”
“The Dharma Bums”
“Big Sur”
“Visions of Gerard”

The correct answer is: “On the Road”

The novel "On the Road" is one of Jack Kerouac's most famous works, but it was not published until 1957. "The Dharma Bums" was published in 1958, "Big Sur" in 1962, and "Visions of Gerard" in 1963. While all of these novels were written by Kerouac in the 1950s, "On the Road" is the only one published in 1953. Therefore, "On the Road" is the correct answer to the question.
