Maybe we'll finally learn how to pronounce 'Duluoz'

: This story hit the AP news today, but this earlier Guardian piece is superior: a "lost" Jack Kerouac play has been discovered, reportedly about a day in his life -- or rather, that of his alter ego, Jack Duluoz.

"Kerouac wrote the play in one night when he returned to his home in Florida after the publication of On the Road," said Kerouac's biographer and family friend Gerald Nicosia. "He was getting a lot of attention, being put on TV talk shows ... and an off-Broadway theatre producer named Leo Gavin said he wanted a play from him."

Probably sucks, but just the same, some people will be interested. I have to say I've never heard of Best Life magazine. Is it like Boys Life, only for grownups? I thought so.
