Great Regulars: As if to highlight this,

another section of the app compares passages from the original scroll manuscript with the finished book, highlighting just those sections (detailing drug use or graphic sexuality) that had to be scaled back. The result is a three-dimensional look at the novel as a function of process--not just its author's process but also the process by which the book was edited and brought out.

from David L. Ulin: Los Angeles Times: Critic's Notebook: Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road' book app is a road trip and a map to the future
