Lost Kerouac

The headlines say it all.
"Lost Kerouac play found in Jersey City Warehouse
'Lost' Kerouac play resurfaces after 50 years
Release for unseen Kerouac play.

       Santa Fe is, by the way, still on the schedule for the typescript scroll manuscript of On the Road to come to the Palace of the Governors in 2007. Hunting around for the dates (which are apparently not set yet) we ran across a spectacular hi-resolution image of part of the scroll. Thank you, thank you, University of Iowa.
       There's a lovely web tour of cover of bookthe Denver locations that figure in Beat history, written and photographed by Andrew Burnett and Steve Hansen, on the Denver city web site; and a nice website about the scroll at Empty Mirror Books. And of course we have plenty of books by and about Kerouac and the Beats in our catalog. (All eight copies of On the Road are out at the moment, but you could place a hold on it.) The little cover image is for Atop an Underwood : early stories and other writings.
