    <body><![CDATA[The first Kerouac I enjoyed! More experimental (and probably tedious, though I found it fascinating) in style, the book has interesting things to say about voyeurism, cinema, Hollywood spectacles (as in events, not glasses), and recording devices. Really worth checking out, even if you hated <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6288.The_Road" title="The Road by Cormac McCarthy">On the Road</a>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13208383">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>Like nearly all of Kerouac's works, Visions of Cody involves a &quot;mythologizing&quot; of his life, here as &quot;Jack Duluoz&quot;, 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 &quot;Cody Pomeray.&quot;]]>
