Hardback. Etat : Fair. The legendary 1951 scroll draft of On the Road, published as Kerouac originally composed it The sparse and unassuming scroll is the living version of On the Road] for our time. . . . It is a dazzling piece of writing.--The New York Times Book Review 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.

Hardcover. cream and black cloth boards w/ girl spine printing. 408 pgs. yellow & orange printed dustjacket. Remains tightly bound; appears to be a light read and handled copy. ".Represents the first full expression of Kerouac's revolutionary aesthetic, the identifiable point at which his thematic vision and narrative voice came together in a sustained burst of creative energy. It was also part of a wider vital experimentation in the American literary, musical, and visual arts in the post-World War II period. It was not until more than six years later, and several new drafts, that Viking published, in 1957, the novel known to us today. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of On the Road, Viking will publish the 1951 scroll in a standard book format. The differences between the two versions are principally ones of significant detail and altered emphasis. The scroll is slightly longer and has a heightened linguistic virtuosity and a more sexually frenetic tone. It also uses the real names of Kerouac's friends instead of the fictional names he later invented for them. The transcription of the scroll was done by Howard Cunnell who, along with Joshua Kupetz, George Mouratidis, and Penny Vlagopoulos, provides a critical introduction that explains the fascinating compositional and publication history of On the Road and anchors the text in its historical, political, and social context."--Amazon.
