Summary
  1. Recounts how Neal Cassady was jailed in San Quentin for two years after offering marijuana to two plaincloths policemen.
  2. Angry reflections on the cruelties inflicted by the powerful on the weak: "It has to with the apparent fact that this earth is the habitat of a Luciferian horde let out of manholes from Hot Red Hell. I see them now come swarming out of those manholes, murderer after murderer, liar after liar, crook after crook, eyes gleaming, coming after the innocent joyful angel Neals with long knives of sexual and Paradisi[a]cal hate. It must have something to do with the original fall of Man."
  3. With his mother departs San Francisco for Tallahassee; shortly thereafter leaves Tallahassee for Mexico City, where he survives an earthquake; then returns to Tallahasse, where he is interviewed by Time Magazine ("To make fun of my suffering, of my work, of my family even, of my friends, ov[sic] everything I’d believed in. Time Magazine of America takes over and makes me into an Ogre."
  4. Returns to New York to find he is a successful novelist, and "Eberything [sic] that happens after that is immeasurably worse than all this…. Can you beat it?"
