Burst of genius: Jack Kerouac’s ‘On The Road’ scroll and its wild afterlife天才迸发：杰克·凯鲁亚克的《在路上》手稿及其狂野的后续影响
Kerouac's classic book 'On The Road' has inspired countless literary – and literal – quests to 'find America'

In the spring of 1951, the muse landed so hard in the caffeinated mind of Jack Kerouac that within three weeks he had hurried out a full-length, single-spaced manuscript – a draft for On The Road that he taped together into a scroll some 37m long.
Published six years later to instant acclaim and notoriety, On The Road may not be the Great American Novel, but Kerouac’s epiphany surely stands as the Great American Manuscript.

1951 年春天，缪斯女神猛烈地击中了杰克·凯鲁亚克那充满咖啡因的头脑，以至于在三周内，他就匆匆写出了一部完整的单倍行距手稿——《在路上》的草稿，他用胶带把这些草稿粘成了一卷约 37 米长的卷轴。
《在路上》在六年后出版，立即获得了赞誉和恶名。它或许不是伟大的美国小说，但凯鲁亚克的顿悟无疑是伟大的美国手稿。
