Long-Lost Letter That Inspired 'On The Road' Found
Considering Kerouac's original manuscript sold to James Irsay owner of the Indianapolis Colts for $2.43 million. I'm thinking this little gal found quite a treasure in those old boxes left behind by her diseased father. Could be a million dollar treasure he never knew he had.
When Jack Kerouac's On the Road was first published in 1957 no one had ever seen anything quite like it. As it turns out, that stream of consciousness style that Kerouac made famous owes a huge debt to a letter written by his friend Neal Cassady. Among Kerouac scholars and fans it became known as the "Joan Anderson letter." It was missing for 65 years, but it has been found and will be auctioned next month.
