Review

Poeticus Interruptus, November 13, 2011 By  Xcarl This review is from: One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road (Hardcover) The Beat Generation saga of the love quadrangle among Neal Cassady, LuAnne Henderson, Jack Kerouac and Carolyn Cassady heats up here both off and on the road and still running. Luanne is perhaps a controversial figure: considered the one true love of Neal's. This is not to say that his love for Carolyn was false. Not surprising that the book comes out now, as "On the Road," the first legit film based on Kerouac's work is due to be released soon; and LuAnne's story, as portrayed by the mainstream actress Kristen Stewart, is bound to introduce the character to an entirely new (and huge) set of fans. Also perhaps the legal tide against the current ownership of the Kerouac estate has loosened the will of Beat historian Nicosia, whose contribution with Henderson's daughter has stirred these embers, some still glowing with brilliant insight into an era that forever needs to be understood.  One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road Permalink
