Books on and by Neal Cassady
Not the
most informative book, but a hell of a fun read. Great photographs inside.
I found it difficult to find and had to order it. If you stumble upon it,
give it a look see.
A GREAT read. Go forth and purchase. This wonderfuol
novel was written by Neal Cassady's wife during the "On The Road" years.
Not LuAnne his teenage wife from Denver. Carolyn was his wife he bore his
first children with. Jami, Joanne, and John Allen. Great insight
into the Kerouac-Cassady relationship. A MUST-HAVE for Cassady buffs.
Neal's unfinished
autobiography. A fun and informative read. Again, not the easiet book to
get ahold of (at least it wasn't for me) but if you can...do!
This is
a collection of letters Neal wrote while in prison. If you are a fan of
his letters and want more insight into the man and his thought process,
you must go forth and find this book. As of this writing, the publisher
was out of stock. If you can find it...grab it.
Tom Wolfe's
journey with the Merry Pranksters. In his later years, Neal drove "Further",
Ken Kessey's bus. A sometimes difficult read, but fun none the less.
Kerouac
used Neal as a character in many of his books. Neal was the main Character
in "On The Road" and "Visions of Cody". Here is a list.
