Highly influential American writer (1922–1969) generally acknowledged as the most dynamic and brilliant figure of the “Beat” movement. His classic autobiographical novel, On the Road (1957) takes a place among the high points of twentieth-century American literature. Personal check, 6.25 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Kerouac, payable to John’s Television for $6.75, July 6, 1958. An unusually fresh and appealing example from this signal year in Kerouac’s output. In crisp, fine condition, with usual punch cancellations, well away from signature.
