Visions Of Cody
''Visions of Cody'' is an experimental novel by Jack Kerouac. It was written in 1951–1952, and though not published in its entirety until 1972, it had by then achieved an underground reputation. Since its first printing, ''Visions of Cody'' has been published with an introduction by Beat poet Allen Ginsberg titled "The Visions of the Great Rememberer." Origins ''Visions of Cody'' is derived from experimental spontaneous prose inserts that Kerouac added to the original manuscript of '' On the Road'' in 1951–52. Part of the novel is a fast-forward recapitulation of the events described in ''On the Road'', which was also about Kerouac and Neal Cassady. When Kerouac appeared on '' The Steve Allen Show'' in 1959, he secretly read from the introduction to the then-unpublished ''Visions of Cody'' although he was supposedly reading from ''On The Road'', the book he was holding. Excerpts from the novel were published by New Directions in 1959 as a 120 page, signed limited-editio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
