Carolyn Cassady

    28 aprile 1923 – 20 settembre 2013

    Carolyn Cassady emerse come figura centrale della Beat Generation, la sua vita intrecciata con quella del marito Neal Cassady e le amicizie con altre figure di spicco del movimento. Servì sia da musa che da voce della ragione, trovandosi al centro di un'era vibrante di libertà, sperimentazione e ricerca spirituale. Mentre i suoi contemporanei maschili si crogiolavano nell'ethos "on the road", Cassady spesso manteneva i piedi per terra, assumendosi responsabilità domestiche e osservando con preoccupazione mentre le generazioni più giovani emulavano gli impulsi autodistruttivi dei loro predecessori.

    • Neal Cassady was a living legend immortalized in the bible of the Beat generation, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." In this vivid account of the people who brought this country into the 1960s, Neal's wife captures the turbulence and raw excitement of her years with Cassady, Kerouac, and poet Allen Ginsberg.

      All the components of the Jack Kerouac legend are here: the excesses of alcohol and drugs; the soul-searching; the characters - Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and Lucien Carr, John Clellon Holmes and William Burroughs, Jack's mother, Gabrielle, and the other women in Kerouac's life. There is also a record of the travels that became the basis for On the Road and Visions of Cody, the death-shrouded childhood that became Mexico City Blues and Tristessa, and the stupor of fame that weighed on him as he tried to articulate his torments in Big Sur.
