Neal Cassady was a living legend, his dauntless, wild spirit immortalized in the bible of the Beat generation, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." In this vivid, comic, and wise account, Neal's wife captures the turbulene and raw excitement of her years with Cassady, with Kerouac (her sometime lover), and with Allen Ginsberg - an intense rival for Neal's affection. Reverberating with all the creative energy - and poetry - of a legendary time, "Off the Road" is the authentic story of the people who captured the imagination of America's youth and brought this country into the 1960s.
