Visions Of Cody
This 430 page book by renowned author Jack Kerouac was written in 1951-52, but was not published until 1972. By the time he wrote this book, Kerouac was an underground legend. Writing in a radical, experimental form, "the New Journalism fifteen years early" as Dennis McNally notes in 'Desolate Angel', Kerouac created the ultimate account of his voyages with Neal Cassady during the late forties, which he captured in different form in "On the Road". Here are the members of the Beat Generation as they were before any label had been affixed to them. Here is the postwar America that Kerouac knew so well and celebrated so magnificently. His ecstatic sense of superabundant reality is informed by knowledge of mortality. He writes "I wrote this book because we're all going to die.....My heart broke in the general despair and opened up inward to the Lord, I made a supplication in this dream." From The New York Times Book Review: "To read 'On the Road' but not 'Visions of Cody' is to take a nice sightseeing tour but to forgo the spectacular rapids of Jack Kerouac's wildest writing."
