On the Road, The Original Scroll
Kerouac Jack
The legendary 1951 scroll draft of On the Road, published as Kerouac originally composed it
IN THREE WEEKS in April of 1951, Jack Kerouac wrote his first full draft of On the Road—typed
as a single-spaced paragraph on eight long sheets of tracing paper,
which he later taped together to form a 120-foot scroll. A major
literary event when it was published in Viking hardcover in 2007, this
is the uncut version of an American classic—rougher, wilder, and more
provocative than the official work that appeared, heavily edited, in
1957. This version, capturing a moment in creative history, represents
the first full expression of Kerouac’s revolutionary aesthetic.
