on the road

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'book by kerouac' is the definition.
'on the road' can be an answer for 'book' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'by kerouac' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on the road that I've seen before include "Jack Kerouac novel" , "Book" , "as a commercial traveller?" , "In the Fifties, a novel" , "way to travel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
