On Aug. 15, "the Mexican girl" who transfixed Jack Kerouac and whom he immortalized in On the Road, died. Her name was Beatrice Kozera (Bea Franco, then), and it was only three years ago that she learned that her fling with the writer in 1947 had become part of a book, or, indeed, that the writer had ended up writing at all: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2397641/Inspiration-Jack-Kerouacs-On-The-Road-Beatrice-Kozera-dies-aged-92.html
Artist Paul Rogers has created an "illustrated scroll" in which he drew a picture for every page of On the Road (he posted each part as he finished it, so if you want to begin at the beginning ~ which, you know, is what Alice's King suggests one do ~ scroll about four-fifths of the way down): http://www.paulrogersstudio.com/index.php?section=news&news_cat=832&d=true
