ON THE ROAD

I'm in New York for a couple of days, and yesterday I visited this great exhibition about Jack Kerouac's work at The NY Public Library. Among many textes and pictures, there is on view this original scroll (a full size facsimile) from the On The Road, with a big image of a road by Robert Frank in the end of it. Just great. The Beats were the beginning of everything for my writing, back in 1995, when I was living in San Francisco and decided to become a journalist. I love their style.
