Thanks for this. Thanks very much.
That story should become a standard text on how a rejection doesn't mean your writing's bad, and that even the best work can struggle to find a home.
Thanks very much for posting this link. What a fascinating, sad story.
Also, I didn't realize Kerouac died the very day I was being born. Time to call my mom and tell her.
