The long-lost, thought drowned in the Pacific, 16,000 letter from Neal Cassady, which inspired Kerouac’s On The Road, has been found. It was missing for 60 years and Kerouac himself died thinking it had been lost for good. He called it “the greatest piece of writing I ever saw, better’n anybody in America, or at least enough to make Melville, Twain, Dreiser, Wolfe, I dunno who, spin in their graves.” An auction house in Los Angeles is putting it up for sale next month.
This is a Real Wow
