"Dave Moore's work on this collection is simply awesome.... It
should become and remain the definitive reference book for Beat
scholars forever." --Carolyn Cassady
Neal Cassady is best remembered today as Jack Kerouac's muse and
the basis for the character "Dean Moriarty" in Kerouac's classic On
The Road, and as one of Ken Kesey's merriest of Merry Pranksters,
the driver of the psychedelic bus "Further," immortalized in Tom
Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. This collection brings
together more than two hundred letters to Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg,
John Clellon Holmes, and other Beat generation luminaries, as well
as correspondence between Neal and his wife, Carolyn. These amazing
letters cover Cassady's life between the ages of 18 and 41 and
finish just months before his death in February 1968. Brilliantly
edited by Dave Moore, this unique collection presents the "Soul of
the Beat Generation" in his own words--sometimes touching and
tender, sometimes bawdy and hilarious. Here is the real Neal
Cassady--raw and uncut.
Oldham Athletic Miscellany collects together all the vital
information you never knew you needed to know about the Latics. In
these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most
mindblowing stats and facts. Heard the one about the insulting
newspaper article that ended Ken Bates' 1960s reign as chairman?
How about the fan who changed his name to Oldham Athletic? Or the
successful stopper who was inspired by Brian Clough on a Sunderland
beach? Did you know comedian Eric Sykes was on the Oldham board in
the '70s? That Athletic have beaten, once or more, every team that
they've ever played in the League and FA Cup? Or that Roger
Palmer's pre-match ritual involved watching horse-racing before
kick-off? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a
brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any
Latics fan who holds the riches of the club's history close to
their heart.
Oldham Athletic On This Day revisits all the most magical and
memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster past, mixing in a
maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce
an irresistibly dippable diary of Latics history - with an entry
for every day of the year. From the club's Victorian formation
through to the Premier League era, the Boundary Park faithful have
witnessed championships, promotions and relegations, hard-fought
Lancashire derbies, breathtaking Cup runs, a Wembley trip and a
re-election saga - all featured here. All-time greats including
Eric Gemmell and Andy Ritchie, Bobby Johnstone, Roger Palmer and
Andy Goram all loom larger than life. Revisit 10 April 1994, when
the Latics were 13 minutes away from winning the League Cup. 24
April 1915: a 2-0 defeat by Liverpool that left Oldham runners-up
in the League. Or 25 October 1989, when at one point the scoreboard
read Frankie Bunn 6 Scarborough 0!
