Description:
2002 report about the creation of Jack Kerouac's novel "On the Road," which was published in 1957 and had been "completed -- from start to finish -- in only three weeks. And he used just one long, scrolled piece of paper, improvising endlessly, just like a jazz musician." Features audio and video of Kerouac reading, image of the scroll, excerpt from the book, and links to related material. From National Public Radio (NPR). |
