Carolyn Cassady

    28. apríl 1923 – 20. september 2013

    Carolyn Cassady bola ústrednou postavou beatnickej generácie, jej život bol úzko spojený s manželom Nealom Cassadym a priateľstvami s ďalšími ikonickými postavami hnutia. Zobrazená ako múza a zároveň hlas rozumu, ocitla sa v centre búrlivého života plného slobody, experimentovania a hľadania zmyslu. Kým jej mužskí súčasníci oslavovali životný štýl „na cestách“, Cassady stála nohami na zemi, udržiavala domácnosť a starala sa o deti, pričom so rastúcim znepokojením sledovala, ako sa nová generácia mladých mužov vrhá do sebazničujúcich impulzov.

    • 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.
