PART FIVE

1949 was a year when great changes were beginning in America—the Cold War was deepening; the Korean War was just a year off; racial unrest was escalating rapidly toward the explosive, if nonviolent, birth of the civil rights movement only a few years later—and great changes were about to overtake the lives of Neal, Jack, and Lu Anne as well. Jack would become a published author, first with a book, The Town and the City, that sold only a few hundred copies, and then with a second book that became a controversial national best seller, On the Road. Neal too would become a national celebrity, but as the criminal hero of Jack’s best seller, and the notoriety would help land him in San Quentin for two years. And Lu Anne would marry, have a baby, divorce, and go on to marry two more times—while never finding any other man she could love as fully and deeply as she did Neal Cassady.
