Thanks. Truly awesome. It doesn't look easy to read--almost like some sort of cuneiform script. Hard to believe it ever got to the next stage of printing.
It does! (look like cuneiform) but that era, those writers..I think the NY publishing houses were much less out for $$ and actually had some vision. But Zach Bryan, how about that?!
Interesting. Zach Bryan will be more effective at sustaining Kerouac's name, work, and philosophy than all scholars of American literature combined. Still, I find it ironic that such a treasure of American literary history would be most English teachers' worst nightmare: 120 feet of scrolled, single- spaced text with no paragraphs, containing strikeouts and pencilled corrections.
