Photo A rambling 1950 letter from Neal Cassady to Jack Kerouac that helped inspire “On the Road” will be auctioned next month by Christie’s in New York, apparently bringing to an end an 18-month legal battle over its ownership. The 16,000-word typed letter, which carries an estimate of $400,000 to $600,000, had been considered lost before it surfaced in the discarded files of Golden Goose Press, a now-defunct small San Francisco publisher, and listed for sale by a Southern California auction house in 2014. That auction was suspended after the Kerouac estate and Cassady’s children said they were the owners. Jami Cassady, a spokeswoman for the family, told The San Francisco Chronicle this week that the three parties had reached “an amicable settlement.” The missive, known as the Joan Anderson letter, after a woman with whom Cassady described an amorous relationship, had been known only from a fragment, apparently retyped by Kerouac, that was published in 1964.

Violence Visual !!! Life in Cairo Erinnerungen an das „Tanzverbot“ – Leider noch kein Nachruf | words can't do what action does louder! Karfreitag naht. Zeit, sich mit den ernsten Dingen des Lebens zu beschäftigen. Zum Beispiel mit dem rheinland-pfälzischen Landesgesetz über den Schutz der Sonn- und Feiertage (Feiertagsgesetz – LFtG). Auch auf Wunsch von Triers einzigem online-Kulturmagazin hunderttausend.de, dem ich natürlich gerne nachkomme. Wie aus meinem Steckbrief hervorgeht, war ich einst Mitbetreiber einer freien Cocktail- und Kultureinrichtung im “Herzen von Trier”. Ein trüber Freitagvormittag Ende November 2008. Der heutige Herr stellt sich als Mitarbeiter des Ordnungsamts vor. Das Rockband-Problem haben andere Läden, aber zum Hintergrund muss man folgendes wissen: Die Sachlage war mir nicht neu. Der Sonntagsplan stand also: Morgens ein Filmklassiker aus den 50ern mit Grace Kelly und Frank Sinatra – das Filmfrühstück lief in letzter Zeit ganz okay. Ich sollte an diesem Tag sehr viel telefonieren. Ich telefoniere mit dem Disponenten und “Leiter des künstlerischen Betriebsbüros”. Allmählich läuft die Zeit.
