Changes to Visions of Cody by Jack Kerouac

Shelfari edited the description of Visions of Cody Wednesday, August 5 2009.

Written during 1951-52, this novel was an underground legend by the time it was finally published in 1972. Written in an experimental form, Kerouac created the ultimate account of his voyages with Neal Cassady, which he captured in a different form for On the Road.

Shelfari edited the first sentence of Visions of Cody Thursday, July 16 2009.

THIS IS AN OLD DINER like the ones Cody and his father ate in, long ago, with that oldfashioned railroad car ceiling and sliding doors-the board where bread is cut is worn down fine as if with bread dust and a plane; the icebox ("Say I got some nice homefries tonight Cody!") is a huge brownwood thing with oldfashioned pull-out handles, windows, tile walls, full of lovely pans of eggs, butter pats, piles of bacon-old lunchcarts always have a dish of sliced raw onions ready to go on hamburgs.
