The two-page typewritten manuscript signed by Kerouac in green ink is titled The Holy, Beat, and Crazy Next Thing and is dated 15 April 1957, five months before his classic of beat literature, On the Road, was published. It was discovered last year during the disposal of items owned by Paul Castellano, who ran the feared Gambino crime family in New York from 1976 until he was murdered in a hail of gunfire on 16 December 1985.

Once home to Paul Castellano, a boss of the Gambino Crime family, the Todt Hill residence features eight ensuite bedrooms, a 13-car showroom, both indoor and outdoor Olympic-sized pools, plus a custom pergola adorned with Italian fountains. The neo-classical mansion spans an impressive 33,000 square feet across four levels, and the main house offers a commercial-grade designer kitchen, along with a vast balcony that seamlessly connects the indoors to the outdoors.
