It should become and remain the definitive reference book for Beat scholars forever.\" --Carolyn Cassady\u003cp\u003eNeal Cassady is best remembered today as Jack Kerouac's muse and the basis for the character \"Dean Moriarty\" in Kerouac's classic \u003cb\u003eOn The Road\u003c\/b\u003e, and as one of Ken Kesey's merriest of Merry Pranksters, the driver of the psychedelic bus \"Further,\" immortalized in Tom Wolfe's \u003cb\u003eThe Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test\u003c\/b\u003e. This collection brings together more than two hundred letters to Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, John Clellon Holmes, and other Beat generation luminaries, as well as correspondence between Neal and his wife, Carolyn. These amazing letters cover Cassady's life between the ages of 18 and 41 and finish just months before his death in February 1968. Brilliantly edited by Dave Moore, this unique collection presents the \"Soul of the Beat Generation\" in his own words--sometimes touching and tender, sometimes bawdy and hilarious. Here is the real Neal Cassady--raw and uncut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neal Cassady\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0142002178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142002179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.84h x 5.06w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2004 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2004 pg. 1260\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2005 pg. 1820","brand":"Neal Cassady","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981462503679,"sku":"9780142002179","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8ddd92b-941d-447d-98a7-7a76f53cc740.jpg?v=1683255720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neal-cassady-collected-letters-1944-1967-neal-cassady-9780142002179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
