by Jack Kerouac.
The book, has no paragraphs. It was originally written on a scroll of paper, instead of the regular sheets of paper, and has no paragraphs. It’s like one long memory typed in one long paragraph.
Wikipedia entry:
On the Road is a novel by American writer Jack Kerouac, written in April 1951, and published by Viking Press in 1957. It is a largely autobiographical work that was based on the spontaneous road trips of Kerouac and his friends across mid-century America. It is often considered a defining work of the postwar Beat Generation that was inspired by jazz, poetry, and drug experiences. While many of the names and details of Kerouac’s experiences are changed for the novel, hundreds of references in On the Road have real-world counterparts.
It’s turning out to be really interesting, especially the way he potrays the characters. Next on the list is ‘ A million little pieces’.
