The 11th book on my Kerouac bookshelf is Jack Kerouac's Maggie Cassidy (Avon Book Division, 1959), and the 11th sentence (in honor of today being the 11th day of the month) is:
They hung on him for dear life, twitching to see each new joke he might choose next in his role as King's Comedian. (p. 8)
As with all sentences in this project, you need context to understand it. That context can be established by getting a copy of the book and reading. Tempting you to do that (i.e., read Kerouac) is, of course, a subversive and implicit goal of this exercise.
Happy reading . . . .
