🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️
-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
The original manuscript of Jack Kerouac's classic 1957 novel "On the Road" is about to be sold at auction — where it's expected to fetch as much as $4 million.
Typed out over a feverish three-week period in April 1951, this draft was created on one continuous scroll measuring 121 feet long.
Because he could type extremely quickly and hated having to pause to load new pages into his typewriter, Kerouac always liked to use long scrolls that wouldn't slow him down.
Likewise, this manuscript pauses for neither paragraph breaks nor chapter titles, instead presenting its epic tale of Beat Generation misadventures in one unbroken stream.
This draft even uses the characters' original names — taken straight from the real-life writers and artists that inspired the novel's legendary exploits — before the publisher insisted on changing them.
