Pin on Neal Cassady

The story details, in Kerouac's typical ecstatic and spontaneous style, an evening of joy and yearning in Denver with Neal Cassady, LuAnne Henderson and Allen Ginsberg, using their alter egos.. Neal Leon Cassady (February 8, 1926 - February 4, 1968) was an American writer who was a major figure of the Beat Generation of the 1950s and the psychedelic and counterculture movements of the 1960s. Cassady published only two short fragments of prose in his lifetime, but exerted considerable intellectual and stylistic influence through his conversation and correspondence. Letters, poems.

A l'âge de 16 ans, elle épouse Neal Cassady qui l'entraîne sur les routes et lui fait rencontrer l'écrivain Jack Kerouac. Celui-ci devient leur compagnon de voyage et retranscrit leurs aventures dans le roman Sur la route où LuAnne apparaît sous le nom de Marylou. Charmé par la jeune femme, Kerouac la qualifie de « Golden Beauty » (« beauté d'or »), créant un triangle.. Beloved by both Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, Lu Anne Henderson has never told her story. Lu Anne was a beautiful 15-year-old girl in Denver in 1945 when she met Neal, a fast-talking hurricane of male sexuality. The two married, and soon they were hanging out with a group of young would-be writers, including Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. But Neal and Jack initially didn't like each other.
