Kerouac’s “On the Road,” Uncensored
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 07.27.06 | 12:28 PM ET
When Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” was first published, a number of passages referring to drugs and sex were apparently edited out. (It was 1957, after all, not 1967.) But Viking Press now plans to publish the book in its original uncensored form, with text taken straight from the original scroll, according to John Sampras, executor of the writer’s literary estate. In an AP story via Yahoo! News, Sampras says he hopes the book will be out by the end of next year, the 50th anniversary of the classic novel. It’s about time, isn’t it?
