Jack Kerouac (March 12, 1922 – October 21, 1969); American novelist and poet.
i beat my own record for travelling to the states in this past year or so. three different trips to three (way way vastly oh hey) different cities: new york, las vegas and houston. fun is fun, but i really want to see america. or rather to travel deep enough and long enough to be able to see and never forget.
sometime recently, i became interested in a road trip. specifically, what i want to do is follow this map here:
‘tis the map from jack kerouac’s novel, on the road. now i haven’t read the book yet (i really hope it ends well, by some definition of well) so there’s no real reason to pick this map. i just like that although it runs through some well rural areas, it mainly hits cities that i’ve always wanted to visit. and i like that it truly runs through the middle of that country.
i guess i’ll just add this to that list of mine.
p.s. got the map from this interesting article on the journey of kerouac v. steinbeck
