Legacy'Castle to Castle' was mentioned in a biography of Jack Kerouac, 'Subterranean Kerouac' by Ellis Amburn (St. Martin's Press, 1998). Kerouac was at dinner with Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows at their apartment when he described Cline's work as "a portrait of existence as rotten and mad" (p. 301). It was also adapted into a graphic novel by Paul Brizzi and Gatan Brizzi, along with Cline's other novels 'North' and 'Rigadoon'.
