Novelist OK with a cue, flamboyantly potting first of reds (7)
I believe the answer is:
kerouac
'of reds' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kerouac that I've seen before include "Jack, iconic novelist" , "Cooked" , "American author of On the Road, d. 1969" , "WRITER" , "Jack -, US beat novelist (On the Road)" .)
