On the Road

Studio 360

Studio 360 wanted to find out whether Jack Kerouac’s novel still speaks to readers. We asked Hillary Frank and Jonathan Menjivar, two newly married radio producers, to explore that. But it turned out Hillary had never read it, so Jonathan gave her the underlined, scribbled-in copy he got when he was 17. We provoked a little marital tension in the process.
