Tried to google the word count of On the Road.
Screenshot of an Al Overview response that reads, “‘On the road’ consists of three words. On, the, and road.”

C. Mallon’s debut novel absolutely rocked me, so it was a thrill to review it for @nytimes.com‬. Tremendous thanks to MJ Franklin for the assignment, along with his sharp, thoughtful edits.

If you're looking for a cozy Sunday read I went looking for a flat cap at the the world's oldest hat shop, Lock & Co. Hatters.
