"holy moly," original manuscript of On the Road is "whole different book"
Here’s the published version: “My aunt once said the world would never find peace until men fell at their women’s feet and asked for forgiveness.”
In the scroll, the section runs four times longer and wraps with: “If these men stop the machine and come home - and get on their knees - and ask for forgiveness - and the women bless them - peace will suddenly descend on the earth with a great silence like the inherent silence of the Apocalypse.”
“Holy moly, man,” said Canary. “That’s a whole different book.”
