On the Road: Original Scroll

During three weeks in 1951, Jack Kerouac wrote the first draft of On the Road — typed as a long, single-spaced paragraph on eight sheets of tracing paper, which he taped together to form a scroll. Representing the identifiable point at which his vision and narrative voice first came together in a sustained burst of creative energy, the scroll is the «uncut» version of Kerouac’s masterpiece — rougher, wilder, and more sexually explicit than the edited work that appeared in 1957. On the Road: The Original Scroll is Kerouac’s signature achievement — and one of the most significant, celebrated, and provocative documents in American literary history.
