Item #28345 Visions of Cody. Jack Kerouac.

Visions of Cody.

New York: McGraw-Hill, 1972. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine tight copy in Near Fine, price-clipped, dust jacket. This edition is the first complete text of this posthumous road novel that Kerouac began writing in 1951. An experimental novel which remained unpublished for years, Visions of Cody is Kerouac's fascinating examination of his own New York life, in a collection of colourful stream-of-consciousness essays. Transcribing taped conversations between members of their group as they took drugs and drank, this book reveals an intimate portrait of people caught up in destructive relationships with substances, and one another. Always transfixed by Neal Cassady—the Cody of the title, renamed for the book along with Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs—Kerouac also explores the feelings he had for a man who would inspire much of his work.
