In the latest issue of the Atlantic Monthly, historian Douglas Brinkley deflates the myth that Kerouac pounded out On the Road in a three-week burst of manic energy sustained by jazz and Benzedrine. After sifting through documents to which he was recently granted access by Kerouac's estate, Brinkley reveals that the author, who died in 1969, actually planned, plotted and outlined his homage to nomadic nonconformity well before writing the novel's final draft...
