Kerouac’s novel starred a heroic proto-beat named Dean Moriarty, based on the legendary underground figure Neal Cassady. And now in “Heart Beat” we get the story of Neal and Jack and Neal’s wife.

He imbibed the alcoholic beverage pulque at the wedding, which may have contributed to his death as he was taking the barbiturate Seconal that day.
