Uncensored 'On the Road' to be published

[kelber at mindspring.com]

I read On The Road only recently, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it held up as more than a relic of the beatnik era.   Kerouac's thumbing of his nose at responsibility and convention is very seductive, and should still appeal to plenty of baby yuppies out there, bogged down in their mindless careers, dreaming of freedom.  Then too, Dean/Cassady is a great portrait of a completely unfettered manic-depressive on-the-loose.  A glaring absence from the book was the homosexual relationship of Cassady and Ginsberg and various others.  I'm hoping the uncensored version will have more about this, though I'd imagine a lot of unreadable crap will be included as well.
