The last time I read this book many, many years ago, I didn’t notice all the em dashes. I do love the stream of consciousness writing, and I love the setting, and how Kerouac is dealing with his fame (not very well). I just wish there weren’t so many em dashes. I tried rereading On the Road a couple of years ago and it felt dated, but this doesn’t feel dated. I’m loving it.
