"Fifty years after it was published, the 36 meter (120 feet) roll of paper on which novelist Jack Kerouac typed out his 'On the Road' in a coffee- and Benzedrine-fueled three week frenzy has been put on exhibit in New York.
"A legendary icon of the beat generation's creative intensity, the massive scroll went on display last week at the New York Public Library, together with other documents, pictures and objects from Kerouac and his contemporaries William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady."
I hope the scroll is displayed in various places throughout the country, it'd be great to see.
