Borshoff principal mentioned in book about Jack Kerouac

What does Myra Borshoff Cook have to do with author, poet and artist Jack Kerouac? A lot, if you read Offbeat: Collaborating with Kerouac by David Amram. She’s quoted on several pages, talking about the New York Public Library event celebrating Jack Kerouac’s original scroll manuscript of On the Road. Myra promoted the national tour for client Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts and also the famous scroll.

Myra also helped bring the scroll home this summer. She planned an event at the Indianapolis Museum of Art featuring Amram, a composer and conductor, who paid homage to Kerouac’s work and the scroll’s return to Indiana. Kerouac was a well known writer of the Beat generation, a term used to describe both a group of American writers who came to prominence in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the cultural phenomena that they wrote about.
