Jack Kerouac would have been 100 yesterday. I am not that familiar with his books but certainly understand his large influence.

I have included YouTube video of the visit to his grave by Allen Ginsberg and Bob Dylan in 1975. The manuscript for On the Road, is a long scroll that was purchased by Colts owner Jim Irsay.

Watching an episode of #theipcressfile every night at the moment. Before he became an established author Len Deighton was an illustrator, this is his design for the 1957 first UK edition of the Kerouac classic pic.twitter.com/vlKWhRf0UJ

#OTD in 1957 American writer Jack Kerouac published On the Road.

In three weeks in April 1951, Kerouac typed the manuscript of On the Road onto rolls of architects’ paper, resulting in a 120-foot long manuscript, which we exhibited in the Library in 2012. #Throwback pic.twitter.com/YPNHh5qJKm
