Jack Kerouac’s novel turned 50 this month and Studio 360 wanted to find out whether the book still speaks to readers. We turned to Hillary Frank and Jonathan Menjivar, newly married radio producers, to go exploring. 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.
