Kerouac manuscript
News. You know the manuscript for Jack Kerouac's On The Road, famously typed on one length of paper? Guess where it is now? Ireland. Guess where in Ireland? Maynooth. The Russell Library in NUI Maynooth to be precise. On loan from the Collection of James. S. Irsay.
The Library in collaboration with the School of English, Media and Theatre Studies at NUI Maynooth presents this major exhibition, 'Jack Kerouac Back On the Road'. The original 127-foot scroll of the text of On the Road was typed in one piece in 1951. The last of three venues in Europe before it returns to America, the Exhibition is in the Russell Library.
Opening hours 11.00am to 4.00pm:

So if you're working full time and your son's in the final of the Leinster schools' championship on Satutday 7th March, you can't go.
