Highly influential American writer (1922–1969) widely 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. Bank check, 6.25 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Kerouac, payable to George Eddy for $1300, March 25, 1958. Kerouac purchased a house from Eddy in Northport, New York, where he would live with his mother for several years. Eager to protect his privacy there, Kerouac once instructed an interviewer, “I do not want mention of Northport. I still live there. I do not want carloads of Zen beatnik hipsters scouting my yard and house.” Usual punch cancellations and bank stamps and faint vertical fold (all well away from signature), otherwise very fine, fresh condition. R&R COA.
