The legendary 1951 scroll draft ofOn the Road, published as Kerouac originally composed it “The sparse and unassuming scroll is the living version [ofOn 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 Scrollis Kerouac’s signature achievement—and one of the most significant, celebrated, and provocative documents in American literary history. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
