Description
Appearing here as Cody Pomeray, Cassady was also immortalised as Dean Moriarty in ‘On the Road’. The son of a drunken Denver drop-out, brought up homeless and motherless during the Depression, Cassady lived his life raw – hustling in pool halls, stealing cars for marathon joy rides across the States, living wild and penniless amongst society’s misfits and outcasts. He left a sizzling reputation in his wake, becoming the insane Beat Demon of San Francisco.
