false 123969 10 Visions of Cody is a novel by Jack Kerouac, perhaps his most stylistically free and varied. It was written in 1951-1952, and though not published in its entirety until 1973, it had by then achieved an underground reputation. Like nearly all of Kerouac's works, Visions of Cody involves a "mythologizing" of his life, here as "Jack Duluoz", renaming characters and imposing grander themes on actual events while rapturously describing the mundane around him. It is also heavily focused on his perception of and relationship to Neal Cassady, renamed "Cody Pomeray." 1676251 1972 Visions of Cody (Modern Classic) total:956|5:174|4:297|3:341|2:125|1:19| 956 3350 1369 40 3 0 false false Sun Sep 13 01:22:23 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 02:14:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Oct 12 09:33:51 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 09:33:51 -0700 2009
