  • Off the Road: Twenty Years with Cassady, Kerouac and Ginsberg is an autobiographical book by Carolyn Cassady. Originally published in 1990 as Off the Road: My Years with Cassady, Kerouac, and Ginsberg, it was republished by London's Black Spring Press, coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. Off the Road recounts the history of Carolyn Cassady, wife of Jack Kerouac's traveling companion and On the Road's hero Neal Cassady. As Neal's wife and Kerouac's intermittent lover, Carolyn Cassady was well situated to record the inception of the Beat Generation and its influence on American culture. Off the Road begins in the initial stages of Kerouac and Neal Cassady's friendship, when Kerouac was a struggling author trying to publish his first novel (1950's The Town and the City), and documents important moments in the beat movement such as the success of On the Road and Allen Ginsberg's "Howl."

  • Off the Road, Off the Road: Twenty Years with Cassady, Kerouac and Ginsberg, skriven av , är en memoarbok som skildrar det liv som hon levde tillsammans med Neal Cassady, även känd som Dean Moriarty i Jack Kerouacs bok On the Road. Off the Road kom egentligen ut redan 1990, men reviderades av författaren 2007. Cassady rörde sig nära Beatgenerationens förespråkare såsom Allen Ginsberg och Kerouac, som hon även hade ett förhållande med. Tanken med Off the Road är att visa hur det egentligen var att leva nära Jack och Neal samt slå hål på myterna kring Beatgenerationen. Cassady har själv sagt i en intervju publicerad i bland annat SvD att beatgenerationen för henne var "något som medierna hittade på och Ginsberg saluförde." Jack ska även ofta ha yttrat ”jag hade inget med det att göra”. (sv)
