Book Reviews of Visions of Cody (Modern Classic)
Book Review: Jack's top book
Summary: 5 Stars
Jack's subject doesn't change . Visions of Cody is the same as his earlier book,On The Road. The difference is this is a book of greater depth and complexity than any of his other work. The beat writers were all interested in the art of painting,jazz and movies. This book was written as a movie scenario.I don't mean he wanted to become a movie . But that film influenced his vision of his experiences.This work is a book of greater sophistication than the earlier study of his friend.On The Road is a good read, Visions of Cody is a fascinating read.All of the criticism of Kerouac is that it is subjective, but in this book I find that what counts is Jack's command of the formal properties of writing, structure and inventive organization. The best book by Kerouac
Summary of Visions of Cody (Modern Classic)
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.Kerouac, Jack Books
