There's a great story about Robert Frank by Charlie LeDuff, former NYT columnist and now an enterprise writer for the Detroit News. The piece is awesome, and will give you a good idea of what to expect when you see Frank's photos. That exhibit is one not to be missed.

Seems the only thing the Indy exhibit is missing is some live music ~ surely there are a few local artists who are up to the task... And, I love the retractable roof idea.

However many millions of dollars he paid for it is still a record amount for a modern literary manuscript. Perhaps someday they will construct a special building for it with a retractable roof.

I haven't seen it and don't know if its available. The narration of the film was improvised by Kerouac. There is a rare book that was released in conjunction with the film. The film the IMA is showing on July 17 is a documentary: "On the Road Now: Artists and Writers Respond to Kerouac in the 21st Century".

And what is the film's title in relation to the Ginsberg poem of the same name?
