New in paperback this month is Off the Road, Carolyn Cassady's memoir of the now legendary Neal Cassady and his remarkable friendships with Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsburg. Written by the woman who loved them all - as wife of Cassady, lover of Kerouac, and friend of Ginsburg - this riveting autobiography captures one of the most vital eras in twentieth-century literature and culture.
