As a final Centenary tribute, the Founding Editor of Rock and the Beat Generation remembers a visit to the home of a Beat legend at her London home back in 2012
I really enjoyed the scroll version of OTR. It uses no nomes de plume and has several interesting features not included in the final printing. I’m such a fan of- I even picked up a piece of Kerouac’s under shirt! 😀
I too had a fabulous relationship when she was still ‘across the pond’. She was so incredible, and was a delight to get to know. I know her kids would love this, too.
My original letters from Ms Cassady now live on at the Beat Gen museum (in Haight Asbury).
I now enjoy an incredible relationship with her three children who still live near that area. I truly love them.
So...I’m posting my Jeopardy calendar sheet from the 13th. I got a kick out of it - I’m certain ya’all will, as well 😊
That is such a positive message, Dawn, and great that you have such solid memories of Carolyn but are also in contact with her three children. I love it. You will find pieces at Rock and the Beat Generation on all of them.
OK, so I can’t simply take a pic of it on this platform, so here was the Jeopardy’s answer:
“Neal Cassady was called Adonis of Denver by Ginsberg and was the model for Dean Moriarty in this novel”
😀Gotta love it!!
I think a few of our readers should get this one!
